As the start was effected, WHY WHY lifted its front feet off the ground and consequently was slow to begin. Before being allowed to race again, WHY WHY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. SILLY BUDDIES began only fairly. From a wide barrier, WINSTON'S LAD was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. For the majority of the race, PRINCIPAL travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. The performance of PRINCIPAL, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, PRINCIPAL will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of COUNTRY MELODY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. A veterinary inspection of PABLOSKY, SILLY BUDDIES and PRINCIPAL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WASHINGTON HEIGHTS and KEY WITNESS were sent for sampling.
