REAL DRAGON was withdrawn on 4.6.13 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter HEY MR (M Chadwick). Before being allowed to race again, REAL DRAGON will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. GLORIOUS RYDER began very awkwardly and shifted in abruptly at the start, resulting in HAPPY CHAMPION becoming badly unbalanced when heavily bumped by GLORIOUS RYDER. From outside barriers, EMPEROR CLAUDIUS, SPIRIT SOARING and HOLY MAC were taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Approaching the 1300 Metres, GLORIOUS RYDER became unbalanced after shifting out and making contact with SPIRIT SOARING. Over the concluding stages, EMPEROR CLAUDIUS raced tight outside GLORIOUS RYDER. Throughout the race, INTELLECTUALSTRIDE travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. A veterinary inspection of INTELLECTUALSTRIDE and HAPPY CHAMPION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HAPPY CHAMPION, FLYING UNICORN and GRAND ELITE were sent for sampling.
