EGYPTIAN (USA) (T O Shea) was withdrawn at 8:05pm when it was ascertained to be lame in the off fore. Trainer R Boursely was advised that a veterinary certificated of soundness would be required prior to entering the gelding to race again. TAHREEB (FR) (J Murtagh) dwelt when the start was effected losing considerable ground. Jockey J Murtagh reported that he was of the opinion TAHREEB (FR) had reacted in this manner as it was having its initial start in a visor. Running to the 1000m PROTECTOR (SAF) (K Shea) checked severely and struck the rail. On inquiry, it was established that TALBOT AVENUE (GB) (E Ahern) had crowded BAHIANO (IRE) (R Moore) which in turn tightened IN THE FAN (USA) (R Ffrench) onto PROTECTOR (SAF). Jockey E Ahern was found guilty to a charge of careless riding under ERA Rule 69 (i) and subsequently suspended from riding in races for 2 race meetings (23 & 24 Feb at Nada Al Sheba) and fined AED 1000. COMPTON'S ELEVEN (GB) (T Durcan) shifted out passing the 150m with SIR EDWIN LANDSEER (USA) (S Golam) having to steady momentarily.

The off hind bandage on COLISAY (GB) (K McEvoy) came undone near the 1000m.Stewards later questioned Trainer A. Perrett's traveling headlad regarding this issue. COLISAY (GB) hung outwards from the 400m finishing wide in the straight. At the 500m TYSON (SAF) (W Marwing) shifted in to obtain a run and crowded IQTE SAAB (USA) which then hung outwards considerably onto the hindquarters of TYSON (SAF) and then had to be restrained from the heels of that gelding.

On straightening CORRIOLANUS (GER) (R Moore) steadied when ENCINAS (GER) (W Mongil) shifted outwards. Jockey W Marwing reported that EXCALIBUR (IRE) hung inwards for the major part of the race and he was impeded behind the tiring BALDAQUIN (GB) (P Dillon) prior to straightening. Trainer J Poulton was questioned regarding the improved performance of LAND 'N STARS (GB) (J Egan). He advised that the gelding had been unsuited by the slow pace at its previous start over 2400m He was of the opinion that the fast early pace of today's race, coupled with natural improvement in the gelding's training had lead to the apparent improvement. Jockey J Egan [LAND 'N STARS (GB)] was fined AED 1000 under ERA Instruction 8 (h) for using his whip with his arm extended above shoulder height. EXCALIBUR (IRE) returned with cuts to his mouth. A post race veterinary inspection of BALDAQUIN (GB) revealed the gelding to be lame in the near hind and off fore. Trainer R Boursely was advised that a veterinary certificated of soundness would be required prior to entering the gelding to race again General Report Race 1.
