SAROO was slow losing two lengths and thereafter was slow into stride. BENICARLO was slow losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. MATCHLESS CAPTAIN was fractious and reared in the stalls, was taken out examined by the Veterinary Surgeon and reloaded. Trainer Mrs Bass-Robinson failed to notify the local office of The National Horse-racing Authority within seven (7) days that SAROO had been gelded on 01/04/2019. SAROO was fractious and reluctant to proceed to the start, despite the assistance of a lead pony, and a handler had to assist. Trainer Mrs Bass-Robinson was advised that should this gelding behave in a similar manner in its future engagements it may be suspended. In view of the report from the Starter regarding MATCHLESS CAPTAIN, Trainer Crawford was advised to have this re-schooled before its next engagement. Jockey Behr used his crop more than 12 times during the race whilst riding the horse OPTIMUM. OPTIMUM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SAROO raced fitted with ear muffs. MATCHLESS CAPTAIN raced fitted with ear muffs. Vet: ALPHA PAPPA - returned making an abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: TENACIOUS TIME - not eating up.
