TOURBILLON DIAMOND was slow to begin. BUTTERFIELD travelled wide and without cover until near the 1000 Metres at which time the horse was allowed to improve its position to race outside the lead. Near the 2000 Metres, ZEBROWSKI shifted out away from the heels of PANFIELD and in doing so bumped the hindquarters of BUTTERFIELD. After the 900 Metres, SENOR TOBA raced close to the heels of RELIABLE TEAM. KA YING STAR lost its left hind plate passing the 800 Metres. At the entrance to the Straight, COLUMBUS COUNTY was bumped by ZEBROWSKI. The performance of NORDIC SKY, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, NORDIC SKY 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 NORDIC SKY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. After the race, C Y Ho expressed concern with the action of ZEBROWSKI. A veterinary inspection of ZEBROWSKI immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
