CLOUDLESS SKY, FOURSIXSIXFOUR and PRINCESS BAMBY were slow into stride. In the parade ring, as the jockeys were due to mount, it was established that the incorrect saddle cloths had been fitted to GREAT JOE and FORT SIOUX. As a precautionary measure these horses were returned to the saddling box and re-identified, and Jockeys Bantam and Maujean reweighed before GREAT JOE and FORT SIOUX proceeded to the start. Jockey Hewitson reported that SAINT MICHAEL changed strides continually in running. At approximately the 400m PEARL OF SIBERIA was bumped outwards and unbalanced by COUNTRY SQUIRE, which was hanging out and shifted out sharply as Jockey van Rensburg was attempting to gather his reins further and assisting his mount to run a straight course. MISTY LIGHT took an awkward stride at approximately the 400m. SPLAT THE CAT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. When afforded the opportunity to explain the improved performance of SPLAT THE CAT, Trainer Maroun explained to the Board that, in his opinion, the addition of blinkers and the 1000m distance of today's race had accounted for the improvement. Trainer Maroun has undertaken to race SPLAT THE CAT similarly equipped and over a similar distance in future. MISTY LIGHT raced equipped with a tongue tie. GREAT JOE raced equipped with alumites. COUNTRY SQUIRE and SPLAT THE CAT raced in Club colours (blue, black cap) Stewards permission. PRINCESS BAMBY raced unshod. Vet: SAINT MICHAEL - not striding out both front; abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: THE RUSSIAN SAILOR - insufficient recovery time.
