1st – Royal Scribe 2nd – El Sagrado 3rd – Chilwero 4th – Barcelona Bound

Under AR143(a) a rider is permitted a tolerance of a ½ kilo when weighing back in. As jockey El-Issa’s weight differential was not in excess of this ½ kilo correct weight was declared on the numbers as semaphored. Jockey El-Issa was subsequently fined $500.00 under AR143(b).

EL SAGRADO – Stewards questioned jockey L. Rolls as to the tactics adopted specifically why he allowed ROYAL SCRIBE to cross forward to the lead in the early stages. Jockey Rolls stated that his instructions were to settle just off the speed and after beginning well he was able to obtain that position and elected to allow ROYAL SCRIBE to cross forward of him approaching the 1100m to take up a trailing position with cover. Shortly thereafter REAL GENE, which was racing wide in the early stages, pushed forward to the lead near the 1000m resulting in EL SAGRADO settling one position further back than originally anticipated. Jockey Rolls noted that the mare was stepping up in class today.

REAL GENE – When questioned regarding the disappointing performance jockey R. Fradd stated with the addition of blinkers today the filly when leading during the middle stages overraced, which resulted in it weakening over the concluding stages. Jockey Fradd was of the view that the filly would be better suited over a similar distance without blinkers. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
