TIANHUANG was withdrawn on 26.9.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (blood abnormality). SUPER MAN was withdrawn on 27.9.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (right hind injury). Before being allowed to race again, TIANHUANG and SUPER MAN will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. As the start was effected, HURRICANE KID lifted its front feet off the ground and then became unbalanced after being bumped by LUCKY EVER which shifted out. FOREVER RED shifted out at the start and bumped KING DERBY. HIT THE BID was slow to begin. HIT THE BID was then aggressively ridden to improve its position and near the 1100 Metres became unbalanced when being checked away from the heels of SMILING WATCH. After this, HIT THE BID was shifted to the outside of SMILING WATCH and then for some distance raced tight between that horse and KING DERBY. HIT THE BID continued to prove difficult to settle and for some distance approaching and passing the 900 Metres was awkwardly placed close to the heels of SMILING WATCH. Throughout the race, TURIN PEARL and FOREVER RED travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of FOREVER RED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. RUMBA KING and PERPETUAL TREASURE were sent for sampling.
