BEER PALACE (H361): Slow to begin and from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. For some distance after the 400 Metres was badly held up behind MASTER TORNADO which was giving ground. After the race, L Ferraris could offer no explanation for his mount’s failure to run on in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. ATOMIC BEAUTY (H066): Sent for sampling post-race. MASTER TORNADO (G410): After the race, K Teetan reported that when he had concern that there may be something amiss with his mount when it commenced to give ground noticeably in the Home Straight, he eased it down from the event.
