A’NNABAK W’RSAN (AE) (T Durcan) was slow to begin. Approaching the 1300m, SAMA AL REEF (AE) (J Rosales) shifted inwards causing AF THARB (AE) (P Dobbs) to be restrained and lose its position. A short distance later, SAMA AL REEF (AE) shifted inwards further, resulting in MILLION (AE) (C Sandoval) having to be restrained and lose its position. A’NNABAK W’RSAN (AE), which was following, was eased as a consequence. Jockey J Rosales (SAMA AL REEF [AE]) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under ERA Rule 69(i) and was subsequently suspended from riding in races for 2 days (Meydan, 20th and 21st January, 2012). Approaching the 1000m, A’NNABAK W’RSAN (AE) shifted inwards away from AF THARB (AE), which veered inwards. In this incident, A’NNABAK W’RSAN (AE) made contact with the running rail for a short distance.
