CALIFORNIA CHOICE was slow to begin. KING OF THE DAY began awkwardly. POCKET ROCKETS was held up for clear running from the 400 Metres until passing the 200 Metres. Passing the 100 Metres, KING OF THE DAY raced in restricted room between FIVE CLUBS and POCKET ROCKETS, both of which shifted ground. Over the concluding stages, XI YING MEN raced tight inside FREE AND EASY. C W Wong, the rider of DANE PATROL, was reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out to the end of the race where circumstances permit. A veterinary inspection of TRUE VALOUR after the race including an endoscopic examination showed a moderate left sided laryngeal paralysis and a substantial amount of mucopus in the horse's trachea. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that HO HAPPY had bled from both nostrils. CALIFORNIA CHOICE and FIVE CLUBS were sent for sampling.
