TRIED AND TRUE (USA) - (P Dobbs): Slow into stride. OSTAAD (IRE) - (S Hitchcott): Began awkwardly.

WHEAT SHEAF (GB) - (P Dobbs): Raced ungenerously in the early stages. ORMINDO (USA) - (C Noble): Restrained at the start and lost ground. Passing the 600 metres had to be restrained when tightened for room. PREPARED (GB) - (S Al Mazrooei): Slow to begin. Rider reported that the gelding hung inwards throughout. ASATIR (USA) - (M Monaghan): Tightened for room shortly after the start and lost ground. MARXIAN (IRE) - (G Buckell): Passing the 600 metres had to be checked when tightened for room. BARATTI (USA) - (P Sirigu): A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be suffering from heat stress. SKYGAZER (IRE) - (T O'Shea): Near the 200 metres steadied off the heels of another runner and shifted out. KALKRAND (IRE) - (J Butterfield): Slow to begin. Commenced to hang out near the 1200 metres. Shortly after passing the 600 metres, shifted out when struck with the whip, bumping and crowding the room of another runner. General: Apprentice S Al Mazrooei (PREPARED (GB)) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), the careless riding being that passing the 600 metres, he permitted his mount to shift inwards, resulting in MARXIAN (IRE)(G Buckell) being tightened for room and having to be checked and ORMINDO (USA)(C Noble), which was racing to the inside of MARXIAN (IRE) having to be restrained. S Al Mazrooei had his license to ride in races suspended for two race meetings (Meydan 05.01.2017 & Jebel Ali 06.01.2017). In assessing penalty Stewards took into account S Al Mazrooei’s guilty plea, his good careless riding record and that the Stewards deemed the interference to be in the mid-range of carelessness. Apprentice J Butterfield (KALKRAND (IRE)) was advised to exercise more care after allowing his mount to shift out passing the 600 metres, when being struck by the whip, bumping and crowding the room of another runner. Jockey A Fresu (TADMIR (USA)) was advised to exercise more care after allowing his mount to shift out near the 200 metres, resulting in SKYGAZER (IRE)(T O’Shea) having to be steadied.
