MULTIEXPRESS was withdrawn on 12.9.14 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore foot). Before being allowed to race again, MULTIEXPRESS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. FASHION MAESTRO began only fairly and then travelled wide and without cover throughout the race. From the outside barriers, EN CIVIL and SPARKLING B were taken across behind runners in the early stages. When being steadied to obtain cover after the 1000 Metres, ALL GREAT FRIENDS got its head up and travelled keenly. IMPERIAL FIGHTER lost its right front plate at the 800 Metres. In the Straight, UNIVERSAL UNION raced greenly and shifted ground on a number of occasions. PEARL WIN travelled wide and without cover for the majority of the race. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on IMPERIAL FIGHTER at the request of Trainer A T Millard. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, IMPERIAL FIGHTER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. SUPREME FALCON and UNIVERSAL UNION were sent for sampling.
