The start of the 5th Race was slightly delayed as a result of the farrier having to replace the right front shoe on EUPHORIC at the start. COLLABRO kicked the back gates shortly before the start was affected and fly jumped losing 1 length. As the start was affected ROY'S PONY became restless and reared in the stalls losing 4 lengths. EUPHORIC and COLLABRO were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Drier was questioned regarding the improved performance of EUPHORIC, the winner, compared to this gelding's previous run on the 13th January 2019. He explained that the rider had felt something amiss with this gelding in his previous run which had resulted in them fitting the tongue tie for today's run. This had, in his opinion, accounted for the improved performance. Mr Drier has undertaken to race EUPHORIC equipped with a tongue tie in his future engagements. His explanation was noted. A race review was called into the start with regard to COLLABRO and ROY'S PONY at the start and after reviewing the patrol videos of the start the Stipendiary Board was of the view that these incidents were due to the actions of these two horses and therefore declared them to be runners. COLLABRO was hanging out throughout. RED SHIFT raced wide on the latter part of the bend and into the straight. Jockey Wright the rider of RED SHIFT reported that he felt something amiss with this gelding in the closing stages and as result did not persevere with his ride. In view of the performance of BURRA BOY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. CALL ME WINTER raced fitted with alumites both fore and unshod behind. Vet: RED SHIFT - nothing obvious detected. BURRA BOY - not striding out right hind.
