OH MY DARLING arrived late to the start thereby delaying the proceedings of the race.  As Tr. Patrick Quinn had earlier been warned and fined for late arrival of his charges, he was issued a final warning to ensure that his mounts reach the start on time failing which further disciplinary action will be initiated against him.

BIBURY was very fractious and refused to be stalled in spite of repeated attempts, in the process the bridle used on the filly broke. As there was insufficient time to replace the equipment, the filly was permitted to be withdrawn before coming under Starter’s orders. Tr. Neil Darashah was advised to give his charge adequate gate practice before accepting with it again.

CELTIC HARLEQUIN was very difficult to load. Tr. Rutherford Alford was advised to give his charge adequate gate practice before accepting with it again.

OH MY DARLING and RIMEL were slow to begin.

NORWEGIAN WOOD and SATIVUR drifted out under pressure in the straight.

The Veterinary Officer reported that NORWEGIAN WOOD returned without its left fore shoe.
