After being loaded, TO-KALON became very fractious and reared, resulting in its rider, M Chadwick, sustaining an injury to his right leg. As a consequence of the indisposition of M Chadwick, the Stewards ruled that TO-KALON be withdrawn. M Chadwick was subsequently stood down by the Club's medical officers when unfit to fulfil his remaining riding engagements. Before being allowed to race again, TO-KALON will be required to perform satisfactorily in a series of barrier trials. On jumping, HOLY STAR and BRILLIANT MONKEYS were crowded for room between CHOICE EXCHEQUER and CASA JUNIOR which began awkwardly and shifted out. From the outside barrier, BE THERE AHEAD was shifted across behind runners soon after the start. In the middle stages, JOY TOGETHER got its head up when racing keenly. FISHKING THUNDER lost ground abruptly rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight and near the 200 Metres was eased down by its rider, C Schofield, who dismounted FISHKING THUNDER prior to it collapsing. A veterinary inspection of CHOICE EXCHEQUER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CHOICE EXCHEQUER, HOUSE OF LUCK and BRILLIANT MONKEYS were sent for sampling.
