MOVIE AWARD was slow losing two lengths. LONELY NIGHT was slow losing one length. Apprentice Schwarz reported that he felt something amiss with STEADY WAY in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. Apprentice Matsunyane reported that OH MERCY ME made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. Apprentice Jacobs reported that QUEENIE changed stride continually in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this mare. Shortly before the finish line, LITTLEWOOD was bumped by SERENDIPITY which was bumped out by ELUSIVE CORAL which shied away from SAMARRA which shifted out away from the crop and was immediately straightened. A race review was called by a member of the Stipendiary Board into this incident which was followed by an Objection being lodged by Trainer Houdalakis on behalf of the 4th placed horse SERENDIPITY against the 3rd placed horse ELUSIVE CORAL on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. However, after reviewing the patrol film of the race, Trainer Houdalakis withdrew his Objection with the permission of the Objection Board. His deposit was refunded. The Board, when reviewing this incident, was of the opinion that this was a racing incident and that blame could not be apportioned to any individual rider and therefore took no further action. Apprentice Jacobs the rider of PINK accidentally dropped his crop in the concluding stages. SERENDIPITY cast its left hind shoe in running. SAMARRA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Apprentice Solomons the rider of LONELY NIGHT, rode a satisfactory qualifying ride. OH MERCY ME raced with a Cornell collar. Vet: STEADY WAY - not striding out left front. OH MERCY ME - abnormal respiratory noise. SERENDIPITY - cut into left hind. QUEENIE - examined post-race, nothing obvious detected.
