After being loaded into the barriers, FULL GLORY became fractious and lunged at the front gates. FULL GLORY was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was not suitable to race. Acting on this advice, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of FULL GLORY. Before being allowed to race again, FULL GLORY will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. When FULL GLORY lunged at the front gates, A Suborics’ right foot became wedged between the horse and the barrier partition. After the race, A Suborics was examined by the Club’s medical officers and passed fit to fulfil his remaining race riding engagements. AMBITIOUS CHAMPION was crowded for room on jumping between INDUSTRIALIST WAY and BEST SHOW, both of which shifted ground. After the 1700 Metres, REDWOOD BABY was left racing wide and without cover. Approaching the 1500 Metres, AMBASSADORSHIP and AMBITIOUS CHAMPION raced tight. LUCKY FOREVER had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. Passing the 300 Metres, IMPERIAL CONCORDE, which shifted out, was awkwardly placed close to the heels of INDUSTRIALIST WAY which shifted in under pressure. After the race, B Prebble reported that INDUSTRIALIST WAY raced “flat”. A veterinary inspection of INDUSTRIALIST WAY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of REDWOOD BABY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SUPREME FRESH, TAKE TO THE LIMIT and LUCKY FOREVER were sent for sampling.
