Stewards' Report
Following the running of the race, the Stewards sounded the inquiry sound and viewed the video of the final straight. It was established that leaving the 150 metres Legal Maxim started to hang in under pressure and lay in onto Dealer’s Choice which had improved on its inside taking Dealer’s Choice in onto Galant Gagnant, which was endeavouring to improve on its inside, with Gagnant Gagnant becoming inconvenienced and having to be steadied. The Stewards, being of the opinion that this incident did not materially affect the result of the race, decided not to proceed further and correct weight was declared on the Judges’ semaphored numbers. At an inquiry into this incident, jockey Segeon, the rider of Legal Maxim, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MTC 160 A (e) and taking into consideration his record, he was fined Rs.20,000.
Galant Gagnant jumped awkwardly and rolled out onto Pattaya Beach with Pattaya Beach then rolling out onto Wild ‘N Free. A Quiet Rush and Sky Link came together on jumping. I’ll Be Back raced wide throughout. Approaching the 1300 metres Sky Link shifted out abruptly, carrying Dealers Choice outwards onto the heels of Silverware. Dealers Choice then bumped I’ll Be Back, carrying I’ll Be Back wider on the track. Leaving the 900 metres Silverware improved around A Quiet Rush in view to secure the lead. A Quiet Rush then started to over-race and was awkward when close to the heels of Silverware. Legal Maxim raced wide from approaching the 450 metres. Leaving the 450 metres A Quiet Rush was taken out from behind Silverware to close off the race. Over the concluding stages Legal Maxim continued to roll in, carrying Dealers Choice inwards, resulting in A Quiet Rush becoming inconvenienced close to the winning post.
Routine urine and blood specimens were taken for analysis from Dealers Choice after the race.
