When questioned regarding allowing his mount to stride forward and take the lead between the 1200m and the 800m, rider explained that approaching the 1200m when racing keenly the pace had reduced marginally and he was of the opinion that it would be advantageous to allow his mount to stride forward without having to be urged and to take the lead approaching the 800m.

Meeres) having to restrain at the 100m. It was established that THUNDERLUV N (J. Azzopardi) which had been racing on a straight course had shifted inwards and away from SHINING KNIGHT(Jerry Noske) which had lay inwards and shifted ground towards this runner. This had resulted in BELTANE (S. Meeres) being tightened for room and having to restrain. When considering the evidence tendered by the riders as well as the vision, Stewards were mindful of the fact that SHINING KNIGHT when laying inwards, may have influenced THUNDERLUV N shifting inwards marginally which had resulted in BELTANE having to restrain from THUNDERLUV N heels. Stewards were of the opinion that no rider had ridden carelessly and as a result no further action was taken. GENERAL Routine specimens were taken from all winners. Pre-race blood samples were taken from: Race 2. FLIRT WITH TIME, TONED Race 4. FORT LOTUS, SAXON S PATCH Race 5. VAMPI LASS, KAI S DIAMOND
