STRONGER began awkwardly.
AMAZING STAR lost its left front plate in the early stages.
For some distance approaching the 700 Metres, EXPLOSIVE WITNESS proved difficult to settle and got its head up.
After improving into a narrow run to the outside of COMPUTER PATCH (J Moreira) approaching the 300 Metres, STRONGER was then momentarily crowded near the 250 Metres when COMPUTER PATCH shifted out slightly when placed under pressure. J Moreira was advised to exercise more care. In this incident, COMPUTER PATCH became unbalanced due to contact on its hindquarters. Then after passing the 200 Metres, COMPUTER PATCH was steadied away from the heels of AMAZING STAR (T Piccone) which shifted out under pressure. T Piccone was also advised to exercise more care and ensure that he keeps his mounts straight.
Approaching and passing the 50 Metres, STRONGER raced in restricted room outside AMAZING STAR which continued to shift out slightly under pressure.
A Badel, the rider of EXPLOSIVE WITNESS, was warned against the practice of using his whip forward of the saddle.
When questioned, J Moreira stated that COMPUTER PATCH did not travel comfortably at any stage of the race. He said the horse came under heavy pressure mid-race, did not respond to his riding thereafter and was most disappointing. He said although the horse was carrying top weight today, this did not provide sufficient reason for its disappointing performance. Mr A S Cruz, the trainer of COMPUTER PATCH, stated that the only explanation he could offer for the disappointing performance of the horse was that it was considerably up in weight. A veterinary inspection of COMPUTER PATCH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of COMPUTER PATCH, favourite for today’s race, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, COMPUTER PATCH will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
COMPUTER PATCH, EXPLOSIVE WITNESS and STRONGER were sent for sampling.
