FLYING UNICORN was withdrawn on 3.10.14 by order of the Stewards (stable transfer). BEAUTY ONLY began awkwardly. CIRCUIT STAR began awkwardly and then shortly after the start was taken across behind runners. Shortly after the start, BEST SHOW and DANEWIN EXPRESS bumped. Also shortly after the start, SPARKLING B, which was being steadied in order to be shifted across behind runners, was steadied away from the heels of HEAVENISARACEHORSE which shifted out after being bumped by ARCHIPPUS. From the outside barrier, AMBER DRAGON was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After the 800 Metres, DANEWIN EXPRESS and PRESIDENT LINCOLN raced tight inside MALAYAN PEARL before MALAYAN PEARL was shifted out to relieve the tightening to these runners. ARCHIPPUS had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. After the race, A Suborics reported that SPARKLING B did not stretch out in the Home Straight. The performance of SPARKLING B, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, SPARKLING B will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of PRESIDENT LINCOLN immediately following the race confirmed the horse to be a “roarer” which had previously been reported. A veterinary inspection of CHANCELLOR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. FASTER MORE, BEAUTY ONLY and DANEWIN EXPRESS were sent for sampling.
