Racing Incident Report
As the gates opened, AGILITY reared and as a consequence lost a considerable amount of ground. In the early stages, EGYPTIAN RA, which was proving difficult to settle, raced ungenerously, got its head up and hung out. At the 1400 Metres, SYLLABUS and VIVA PATACA raced tight inside the hindquarters of EVER BRIGHT. Near the 800 Metres, BULLISH LUCK, which commenced to improve its position towards the inside of VITAL KING (B Prebble), was steadied away from the heels of that horse which shifted in when not properly clear. In the circumstances, B Prebble was reprimanded and told to exercise greater care. Throughout the race, EVER BRIGHT travelled wide and without cover. VIVA PATACA and PACKING WINNER were sent for sampling.
