The start of this race was delayed due to the late arrival of TILBURY FORT at the start. LEGAL EAGLE and NOBLE SECRET were slow into stride. ZILLZAAL jumped inwards leaving the stalls. Permission was granted for HAWWAAM to proceed directly to the start from the back-parade ring. A once off dispensation was granted after taking into account the unfortunate events that took place prior to the Derby on 30 March 2019. Assistant Trainer de Kock was advised that the Stipendiary Board expected a progressive improvement to this colt's racing manners in particular to how it parades. HAWWAAM over-raced in the early and middle stages. At approximately the 1800m, ODD ROB was bumped outwards by DARK MOON RISING who was over-racing and shifted out. Jockey Strydom reported that he felt something amiss with TILBURY FORT in running and did not persevere with his riding in the concluding stages. At the 200m, HAWWAAM was brushed by ZILLZAAL which shifted in away from the crop. Apprentice Ferraris, the rider of ZILLZAAL appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol films of the race and advised to take more care when shifting ground in future (LA). HAWWAAM, CASCAPEDIA (IRE) and DIVINE ODYSSEY were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ZILLZAAL raced equipped with a tongue tie on. Vet: TILBURY FORT - cut into both hind. RED CHESTNUT ROAD - speedy cut left front.
