SO FAST was withdrawn on 1.5.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (right fore foot quartercrack) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter DISTINCT COMMANDER (H W Lai). Before being allowed to race again, SO FAST will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. DISTINCT COMMANDER was slow to begin. SOLAR HEI HEI began awkwardly and shortly after the start was bumped by BAYONET which shifted out. MOLLY’S JADE STAR and GLORY BOY bumped on jumping. In this incident, MOLLY’S JADE STAR lost its left front plate. Approaching the 800 Metres, NEVER BETTER was crowded for room outside SPITFIRE which was taken out by PEACE COMBINATION (Z Purton) which shifted out when not properly clear. Z Purton was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care. After the 600 Metres, FABULOUS ONE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of BAYONET. After the 400 Metres, SOLAR HEI HEI got its head on the side and lay in under pressure. Passing the 250 Metres, GLORY BOY became unbalanced when bumped heavily by OCTAL LUCK which shifted out abruptly when racing greenly. Over the concluding stages, NEVER BETTER was held up for clear running behind SPITFIRE and PEACE COMBINATION and consequently was not able to be properly tested. A veterinary inspection of GLORY BOY immediately following the race revealed the horse to be a “roarer”. BAYONET and SPITFIRE were sent for sampling.
