LUCKY SWEYNESSE (G180): When questioned, Z Purton stated that his mount lay in when placed under pressure in the Home Straight. He said over the final 150 Metres his mount came under pressure and shifted in towards VICTOR THE WINNER. He added near the 75 Metres he received a call from K Teetan, the rider of VICTOR THE WINNER, and as a consequence he was obliged to stop riding and straighten his mount approaching the 50 Metres to avoid causing interference. He further stated shortly after he was able to recommence riding LUCKY SWEYNESSE to the finish of the event although it continued to lay in to the winning post. Sent for sampling post-race. SIGHT SUCCESS (D375): Sent for sampling post-race. VICTOR THE WINNER (G404): After the race, K Teetan reported that his mount travelled satisfactorily in the lead, but when asked for an effort in the Home Straight did not respond to his riding and performed in a disappointing manner. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. DUKE WAI (C188): Jumped awkwardly. After the 100 Metres improved into a narrow run between LUCKY SWEYNESSE and SIGHT SUCCESS and over the concluding stages raced tight between those runners when LUCKY SWEYNESSE shifted out when being corrected by its rider. STOLTZ (G147): On arrival at the barriers, L Hewitson expressed concern regarding the action of STOLTZ. STOLTZ was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said the horse was lame in its right front leg and as such was not suitable to race. Acting on this advice, the horse was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Before being allowed to race again, STOLTZ will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. ADIOS (G338): Approaching the 1100 Metres was steadied when crowded between LUCKY SWEYNESSE and SIGHT SUCCESS which shifted out slightly when being crossed by VICTOR THE WINNER.
