COURTZA KING – Raced keenly for a short distance near the 1100m. Laid inwards over the final 100m. When questioned regarding racing in a rearward position jockey J. Byrne stated that it was originally his intention to race forward however, after jumping only fairly he then found himself racing three wide to the outside of FRESPANOL. As such rather than be caught wide he obtained cover following FRESPANOL, expecting that horse to maintain a forward position. Soon afterwards runners to the outside crossed FRESPANOL which resulted in his mount racing further back than he would have liked.

Lloyd stated that he had noticed the gelding had sweated quite badly before the race. He further stated that IMPAVIDO had not travelled well in the running and had hung in badly for the majority of the race. A post race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be short striding in front. Trainer B. Baker will be advised that in view of the disappointing performance the gelding must trial to the satisfaction of stewards prior to racing again.
 
MONACO SNOB – Inconvenienced on jumping when EL CAMPEADOR jumped awkwardly outwards.

During an inquiry it was established that near the 700m TRUCULENT was steadied outwards away from the heels of FREDDIE FOX TROT, which shifted out and TRUCULENT then rolled inwards crowding IMPREGNABLE, which had improved to its inside whilst racing keenly. As a result IMPREGNABLE then shifted in and away from TRUCULENT and crowded STAR OF HARADA, which was checked and lost ground. Stewards could not attribute blame to any one rider however, all riders were advised to exercise more care when shifting ground.

DESERT DIGBY – Raced three wide without cover throughout.
 
JAMI LADY – A post race veterinary examination revealed the off fore plate had shifted in running and therefore the horse had stood on the toe clip during the event, which may have had a bearing on the horse’s performance, as the rider had reported it had been short in its action.
