The start of this race was delayed due to trainers arriving late in the parade ring as well as the thirty-minute interval between races 1 and 2. EAGLE RULER and KARAKORAM were slow into stride. THE RUSSIAN SAILOR lost one length. GIMME THE FIRE raced green. LEMON DROP SHOT was carried out by KARAKORAM which over-raced in the early stages and failed to negotiate the turn. EAGLE RULER over-raced in the early stages and compounded in the concluding stages. Jockey Bantam reported that EAGLE RULER made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. At approximately the 500m, FORT SIOUX which rolled inwards when changing stride, had to ease momentarily when awkwardly placed behind CAPTAIN'S ALPHA which rolled out coming off the bend into the straight and was straightened. The Board after reviewing the patrol film of the race, deemed this to be a racing incident and could not attribute blame to any particular rider. CAPTAIN'S ALPHA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. THE RUSSIAN SAILOR, FORT SIOUX and CATEGORY FOUR raced equipped with alumites. LEMON DROP SHOT is a bay gelding and not a chestnut gelding as carded. ONE OF OUR OWN is a gelding, incorrectly carded. Vet: EAGLE RULER - abnormal respiratory noise. RESPONSIBLE - coughing.
