EJBAAR (GB) - (R Mullen): Commenced awkwardly. FIRST DOWN (USA) - (T O'Shea): Commenced awkwardly and lost ground. Passing the 100 metres, had to be checked when tightened for room. NOT A GIVEN (USA) - (R Ffrench): Commenced awkwardly and lost ground. In the middle stages, raced ungenerously. HAMMURABI (IRE) - (P Cosgrave): Commenced awkwardly and lost ground. General: Jockey D O’Neill (RAAFID (GB)) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), in that passing the 100 metres he permitted his mount to shift out resulting in FIRST DOWN (USA) (T O'Shea) having to be checked. D O’Neill had his licence to ride in races suspended for two race meetings (Abu Dhabi 10.12.2017 & Jebel Ali 15.12.2017). In assessing penalty Stewards took into account D O’Neill’s guilty plea, good careless riding record and deemed the interference to be in the mid-range.

IAN'S MEMORY (USA) - (P Cosgrave): Shifted in at the start and hampered another runner. Raced wide rounding the turn. Lay in from the 500 metres. JAMES LANE (USA) - (X Ziani): Approaching the turn at the 1200 metres, shifted out when laying out. FAST ENOUGH (IRE) - (S Hitchcott): Slow to begin. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be mildly lame in the left hind leg. PRINCE SUHAIL (IRE) - (A Fresu): Hampered at the start by another runner. MUBAJAL (GB) - (C Beasley): Approaching the turn at the 1200 metres, shifted out when laying out, DENZILLE LANE (IRE) - (P Dobbs): Brushed another runner at the start. SIMPLE ATTACK (GB) - (R Mullen): Commenced awkwardly. Raced wide without cover throughout. When questioned regarding the performance of the gelding, the rider explained that SIMPLE ATTACK (GB) never travelled well throughout and was disappointing when put under pressure in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities, however an endoscopic examination detected a degree of internal exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage that may have affected the gelding’s performance. MORI YOSHINARI (IRE) - (P Sirigu): Slow to begin and lost ground as a result.

The start of this race was delayed some 2 minutes due to the pre-race behaviour of KALKRAND (IRE). DOUGAL (IRE) - (J Egan): Saddle had to be re-adjusted at the barrier. PICTOGRAPH (USA) - (C Beasley): Commenced awkwardly. HAWKER (GB) - (P Dobbs): Stood flat-footed and lost ground. Trainer Mr D Watson was advised that prior to the gelding being entered to race again, it must complete one satisfactory stalls test. MR CHURCHILL (IRE) - (P Sirigu): Lay out under pressure from the 800 metres. KALKRAND (IRE) - (T O'Shea): Was reluctant to proceed to the barrier prior to the start and had to be dismounted by its rider for a short distance. After being placed into the barrier, became fractious and attempted to sit down. Commenced awkwardly and lost ground. Trainer Mr A Al Rayhi was advised that prior to the gelding being entered to race again, it must complete one satisfactory stalls test and a warning will be placed on KALKRAND (IRE) regarding its pre-race manners. LOGISTICS (FR) - (P Cosgrave): When questioned regarding the improved performance of the colt, Mr H Al Alawi explained that LOGISTICS (FR) had improved following its first start of the season at Sharjah (11.11.2017) and is better suited to racing at Jebel Ali. He further added that the colt was better placed in this race carrying less weight than it had at its previous start.

A G SAMURAI (USA) - (P Cosgrave): Rider reported on return to scale that the colt hung left throughout. ARCARIUS (GB) - (A Fresu): Shifted in away from another runner approaching the 1000 metres. IGLOO (FR) - (P Dobbs): Lost its right fore plate during the race. MURRAYFIELD (USA) - (J Egan): Approaching the 1000 metres, commenced to over-race and had to be eased of heels when being tightened for room by another runner. AL HARETH (IRE) - (O Murphy): Dislodged its rider on the way to the barrier. Stumbled shortly after the start, dislodging its rider. Lost its left fore plate during the race. Trainer Mr A bin Harmash was advised that a warning would be placed on the colt for his pre-race manners. TARNEMAH (IRE) - (C Beasley): Approaching the 1000 metres, was tightened for room and had to be restrained when over-racing. General: Stewards inquired into the reason for MURRAYFIELD (USA)(J Egan) and TARNEMAH (IRE)(C Beasley) being tightened for room approaching the 1000 metres. On the available footage and the evidence, it was established that ARCARIUS (GB)(A Fresu), shifted in marginally away from CHERKES PHAROAH (USA)(T O’Shea) and as a result MURRAYFIELD (USA), which was racing to the inside of ARCARIUS (GB), had commenced to over-race and had to be restrained off that colt’s heels. TARNEMAH (IRE), which was racing to the inside of MARRAYFIELD (USA) was also tightened for room and had to be restrained when over-racing. As Stewards could not attribute fault to any one rider and took into account the racing manners of MURRAYFIELD (USA) and TARNEMAH (IRE), no action was taken other than to advise all riders to exercise more care in a similar situation.
