MATADOR MAN and GLIDER PILOT were slow into stride. GHOST TOWN broke down shortly before the finish line. MATADOR MAN shifted in away from the crop in the concluding stages. MATADOR MAN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: GHOST TOWN - broke down shortly before the finish line (fractured left front sesamoids). Scratched: RYDER - boil on mouth. AFTER THE RUNNING OF RACE 6, THERE WERE CONCERNS RAISED BY THE JOCKEYS REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE TRACK FOLLOWING THE RAIN WHICH FELL EARLIER IN THE DAY. A PANEL WAS FORMED AND A TRACK INSPECTION WAS CARRIED OUT. THE PANEL HEARD EVIDENCE FROM THE TWO JOCKEY REPRESENTATIVES, TWO TRAINER REPRESENTATIVES WHO INSPECTED THE TRACK AND THE TRACK MANAGER. IT WAS THE UNANIMOUS DECISION OF THE PANEL FOLLOWING THE TRACK INSPECTION AND HEARING ALL THE EVIDENCE PUT FORWARD, THAT THE TRACK WAS INCONSISTENT AND UNSAFE TO CONTINUE RACING. THEREFORE RACES 7, 8 AND 9 WERE ABANDONED.
