Incident Report
Jumped only fairly. Lay in in the early stages of the Home Straight when being shifted to the outside of KYRUS UNICORN to obtain clear running. When being shifted out, the whip of its rider M Chadwick became entangled in his reins as he endeavoured to pull it through to his right hand.

Incident Report
Approaching the 500 Metres was momentarily crowded by KYRUS UNICORN which lay in before being corrected by its rider. When questioned, H Bowman stated that approaching the finish of the event he became unbalanced in the saddle as he was pushing his mount out. He said as a result he was unable to fully test JOYFUL PROSPERITY to the finish of the event. Whilst the Stewards recognized the explanation that H Bowman had provided, he was advised, wherever possible, he should fully test his mounts to the finish of the event. When questioned regarding the performance, H Bowman reported that his mount travelled reasonably well during the event. He added that near the 500 Metres after being crowded by KYRUS UNICORN, his mount lost momentum and then took some time to respond to his riding in the Home Straight before finishing the race off only fairly. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race.
