Both horses were examined by the Club's veterinary surgeon.

MACHO TYCOON - When questioned regarding the performance Jockey N. Day said that the gelding was disappointing and in his opinion was not suited by the distance of today's event and performs best in races over a longer distance. Trainer Z.
