FOOTBRIDGE (USA) – (W Buick): Fractious in the barrier prior to the start. LET’S GO (USA) – (J Doyle): Scrambled on jumping. Passing the winning post the first time commenced to over-race. Passing the 1400 metres steadied to avoid the heels of another runner. When questioned rider advised that the gelding had over-raced in the early and middle stages, however, he was confident at that stage the gelding would run on but when asked for an effort it had failed to do so. He added that he was of the opinion that the gelding would improve with the benefit of this run. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. SPECIAL FIGHTER (IRE) – (F Jara): Passing the 1400 metres shifted out to avoid the heels of another runner getting its head up. ROMANSH (USA) – (R Ffrench): Raced wide without cover in the early and middle stages.

Trainer Mr N Petersen was notified that prior to the gelding being entered to race again it must complete one satisfactory stalls test. MUSTADEEM (IRE) – (P Hanagan): Held tight passing the 1400 metres and carried inwards near the 1200 metres. Rider reported that the gelding did not handle the track conditions. ROYAL NAVY SHIP (USA) – (P Styrdom): Slow to stride. Rider reported that the colt did not handle the track conditions. UNFORGIVING MINUTE (GB) – (S Hitchcott): Raced keenly in the early stages. Checked and became unbalanced near the 1200 metres. AMERICAN HOPE (USA) – (J Doyle): Proved difficult to load. Trainer Mr S Suroor was notified that prior to the gelding being entered to race again it must complete one satisfactory stalls test. SECRET BRIEF (IRE) – (W Buick): Bumped on the hindquarter near the 400 metres. TOP CLEARENCE (USA) – (C Hayes): The tongue-tie worked lose on the way to the start and had to be replaced with another tongue-tie at the barrier. VORTEX (NOR) – (C Lopez): Became unruly in the parade ring throwing its head and pulling back, resulting in the blinkers and bridle coming off. The bridle was replaced and as the gelding was still fractious, permission was granted to fit the blinkers at the barrier. Shifted out near the 400 metres bumping another runner. TIZ NOW TIZ THEN (USA) – (R Mullen): Commenced awkwardly. Bumped and restrained losing ground near the 1300 metres. General: Jockey C Lopez (VORTEX (NOR)) was reprimanded under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i) for careless riding in that he allowed his mount to shift in passing the 1400 metres, tightening MUSTADEEM (IRE) (P Hanagan) onto UNFORGIVING MINUTE (GB)(S Hitchcott), which shifted in tightened TIZ NOW TIZ THEN (USA)(R Mullen), which was bumped and had to be restrained losing ground. Jockey C Lopez (VORTEX (NOR)) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), in that approaching 1200 metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of MUSTADEEM (IRE) (P Hanagan), taking that gelding inwards and tightening UNFORGIVING MINUTE (GB)(S Hitchcott), resulting in that horse being bumped, checked and becoming unbalanced. C Lopez had his license to ride in races suspended for two race meetings (Meydan 30.01.2016 & Meydan 04.02.2016). In accessing penalty stewards deemed the interference to be in the mid-range and took into account his good careless riding record and guilty plea.
