Passing the 150 Metres, GOLFMAN STAR momentarily raced in restricted room inside SKY SHOW which got its head on the side and shifted in before being corrected by its rider. For the majority of the race, NAMJONG SINGS travelled wide and without cover. After the race, Z Purton (GOLFMAN STAR) reported that after having to ride his mount along in the early stages to obtain a forward position, GOLFMAN STAR did not travel strongly at any stage of the race. He said GOLFMAN STAR was always off the bridle and was never able to travel comfortably. He said GOLFMAN STAR then came under pressure rounding the Home Turn and did not finish off the race. He added he recommended to connections that they consider adding blinkers to the gear of GOLFMAN STAR in its future starts having regard to the manner in which it failed to travel today. A veterinary inspection of GOLFMAN STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of LOYAL BABY and SINCERE BOY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. FLYING BONUS and SKY SHOW were sent for sampling.
