TOUGH CHOICE pulled its left front shoe en route to the start, which was attended to by the Farrier. This caused a delay to the start of this race. THE RUSSIAN SAILOR and WINTER CHORD were slow, losing 1 length. TOUGH CHOICE fly jumped leaving the stalls. FINAL OCCASION shifted both ways away from the crop from the 300m. Jockey Habib reported that he felt something amiss with TYRUS EXPRESS in running. Jockey Danielson reported that PETERSHAM raced with its tongue over the bit and thereafter choked up in running. Jockey Zackey hit the horse MOVIE MAGIC more than 12 times in the entire race. SIR GEOFFREY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. THE RUSSIAN SAILOR raced without pacifiers. Vet: MOVIE MAGIC - speedy cut left hind. THE RUSSIAN SAILOR - abnormal respiratory noise. TYRUS EXPRESS - lame left front. PETERSHAM - not striding out right front.
