When asked to comment on the disappointing performance of STAR SAMMY App Payne explained that the gelding overraced in the middle stages and hung in from the 600m. App Payne added that despite this he felt the horse was travelling well when entering the home straight however, when placed under full pressure proved disappointing and failed to run on as anticipated. A post race veterinary examination revealed STAR SAMMY had sustained minor lacerations to both hind pasterns.

A post race veterinary examination of CAPE KIDNAPPERS (D. Browne) revealed the gelding was lame in off fore leg and a routine swab sample was taken. Mr Schweida was advised that a veterinary certificate of fitness must be produced prior to CAPE KIDNAPPERS racing again. Trainer K. Schweida advised the gelding will now be sent for an immediate spell.

Jockey Rawiller stated that the horse was under significant pressure from before the 500m and laid in under pressure in the home straight. Jockey Rawiller further stated that in his view the gelding did not stretch out comfortably at any stage over the concluding stages. A post race veterinary examination of HOWMUCHDOYOULOVEME revealed no abnormalities.
