The start of this Race was delayed due to the 30-minute interval between races 8 and 9, the subsequent late scratching of NOBLE SECRET and time to allow the betting public to restructure their bets. WONDEROUS CLIMBER was slow, losing 1 length. LET IT RAIN raced to the front early and compounded in the straight. In view of the performance from this gelding, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine LET IT RAIN. In view of the performance from WONDEROUS CLIMBER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. WONDEROUS CLIMBER was hanging in, in the concluding stages. Thereafter Jockey Hewitson briefly dropped his right-side rein shortly before the finish. Following the running of this race, Apprentice Schwarz, rider of ODD ROB, suffered cramps in the pull-up area. He dismounted from his mount and received treatment from the course medical staff. This precluded him from weighing in. SUNSHINE SILK was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: LET IT RAIN - not striding out left front; not striding out right hind. Veterinary report required prior to entry. WONDEROUS CLIMBER - not striding out left hind. Scratched: NOBLE SECRET - blood in nostril. ALI BON DUBAI - injured left shoulder. ILITSHE (AUS) - abnormal temperature.
