ARROWS OF DESIRE reared in the stalls. MAINTAIN THE PACE lost 1 length. An inquiry will be opened into Jockey Danielson's riding of MAINTAIN THE PACE. At approximately the 1000m ARROWS OF DESIRE had to ease when tightened for galloping room between RUSSIAN BEAT, which rolled in marginally, and VICTOR FORTH. Jockey Strydom, the rider of RUSSIAN BEAT, appeared before the Board and was shown the patrol film of this incident. He explained to the Board that the configuration of running rail at the 1000m contributed towards Apprentice Ferraris being tightened for galloping room and having to ease. This was confirmed by the patrol film, as well as the Starter, and the Board therefore could not apportion blame to any individual rider. The Track Manager took the necessary corrective measures to resolve this problem. AFFRANCHI was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: ARROWS OF DESIRE - mouth injury. Scratched: LOUIS THE SEVENTH - cast in box.
