RUN RUN TIMING (H403): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of Apprentice P N Wong, 5th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse’s finishing position, she was nonetheless reminded of her obligation to ensure that she fully rides her mounts out to the finish of the race. STELLAR SWIFT (J139): Near the 400 Metres was eased and shifted to the outside of BULB EMPEROR to obtain clear running. Sent for sampling post-race. BULB EMPEROR (J241): Made contact with the left side of its barrier on jumping and lost ground. After the event, M F Poon stated that his mount travelled comfortably in the early stages, but failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight. He added that BULB EMPEROR may not have appreciated the seven-day backup from its last start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. FUN N FUN TOGETHER (J232): No report. STORMING DRAGON (J237): Sent for sampling post-race. PEARL OF PANG'S (J447): No report. SUGAR BALL (H394): Sent for sampling post-race. GOOD LUCK WIN (J135): No report. GET SET WIN (J287): Jumped only fairly. Near the 350 Metres, when under pressure, blundered. The performance of GET SET WIN, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, GET SET WIN will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination which must include additional diagnostic assessments. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CIRCUIT MAXIMUS (J347): Jumped awkwardly, made contact with the left side of its barrier and lost ground. WINNING TURN (J163): After the event, H Bentley advised that he could offer no explanation for his mount’s poor performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
