Incident Report
On jumping was crowded between WINNING CHAMPION and SPARKLE AND GOLD. After the event L Ferraris reported that his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover throughout the race. He said HYANNIS STAR also raced greenly throughout the race and these were the reasons why the horse was not able to run on in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
