CLASSIC ARCHI (G295): After the race, L Ferraris stated that after shifting behind JOYFUL CHAMPION in the early stages, his mount was then obliged to race further back when JOYFUL CHAMPION was steadied to obtain cover behind COLOURFUL BARON and as a result he settled further back than what he had intended. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TURTLE AGAIN (H083): Lay out on the Home Turn. Sent for sampling post-race. HAPPY HERO (G322): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. COPARTNER ERA (C534): Leaving the 400 Metres, K Teetan dropped his right rein for a short distance. After the race, K Teetan reported that his mount was off the bit throughout the event and failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GOLD STERLING (H032): Jumped only fairly. After the race, A Badel stated that over the final 200 Metres his mount weakened badly and as a consequence he eased it down over the concluding stages. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of GOLD STERLING, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.
