The start of this race was delayed due to faulty starting stalls. Starting Stall Gates 4 and 5 opened prematurely causing COMANCHE BRAVE and BUSH PILOT to jump. Both horses were restrained by their riders and taken back behind the starting stalls where they were reloaded. Jockey Maujean the rider of COMANCHE BRAVE reported his mount not striding out freely in running and did not preserve with his mount from the 500m. Jockey Brown the rider of AMSTERDAM accidently dropped his crop at the 300m. Jockey Greyling failed to make the carded weight as confirmed in his engagement to ride LAVA FLOW for Trainer Fisher. HEIR LINE and BUSH PILOT selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: COMANCHE BRAVE - examined post race, found to be lame, left hind. Scratched: KNUCKLEBALL - Card Scratching Horse 8.
