When questioned, Z Purton stated that after beginning well GORGEOUS VITALITY initially travelled well in the early stages. He said after the 500 Metres GORGEOUS VITALITY did not travel as strongly as he had hoped and after being shifted to the outside of HARMONY N BLESSED at the entrance to the Straight became unbalanced, shifted out and bumped SPECIAL M. He said when riding GORGEOUS VITALITY out, the horse dipped approaching the 150 Metres and he became concerned regarding the horse’s action. He said for this reason he put the whip down but continued to ride his mount out hands and heels to the end of the race. He added after the race the horse then felt sound in its action. A veterinary inspection of GORGEOUS VITALITY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Before being allowed to race again, GORGEOUS VITALITY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. After SPECIAL M was bumped by GORGEOUS VITALITY passing the 300 Metres, CALIFORNIA DEEPLY was directed out away from the heels of SPECIAL M in consequence.
