Racing Incident Report
On jumping, VENGEANCE OF RAIN and GOOD BA BA bumped. As a result of this, GOOD BA BA lost ground. ROYAL PRINCE, which was fractious in its stall, was slow to begin. Near the 1400 Metres, ABLE ONE was brushed and carried in by THE DUKE which shifted ground. In the early stages, DANACOURT travelled wide and without cover and because of this approaching the 800 Metres was ridden along to go forward, however, continued to travel wide and without cover. ABLE ONE made the turn at the 800 Metres awkwardly, became unbalanced, shifted out and was checked away from the heels of THE DUKE. As a result of this incident, GOOD BA BA was inconvenienced. At the 350 Metres, ABLE ONE was checked to avoid the heels of DANACOURT which was giving ground. At the 150 Metres, VENGEANCE OF RAIN, which was closing the race off strongly, was steadied and shifted to the outside of TIBER to continue going forward. After the 100 Metres, FLORAL PEGASUS shifted out. Because of this, G Moss? its rider, stopped riding and straightened his mount. DANACOURT was sent for an official veterinary inspection. After the race, DANACOURT was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucopus in the horse's trachea. GOOD BA BA and FLORAL PEGASUS were sent for sampling.

Hey Gallant... if you're around, Dukie retires after the big day next month.

Sorry.
