ROUND THE GLOBE (H146): After the race, A Badel stated that his instructions were to lead on the horse, but if the pace was strong, not to contest that position. He said after the 700 Metres when HEALTHY HEALTHY made a forward move, ROUND THE GLOBE was not travelling well enough to hold the lead and as a consequence HEALTHY HEALTHY crossed to the front. He added after being crossed he then immediately started to ride his mount along to maintain his position behind HEALTHY HEALTHY, however, ROUND THE GLOBE did not respond to his riding and after being taken out slightly on straightening went to the line only fairly. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Was sent for sampling post-race. HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203): Was sent for sampling post-race.
