Post-race veterinary examinations of ALL IN (HK Cheng) and RISE OF THE LEGEND (App AB Riduan) revealed no obvious abnormality.

Trainer K Coetzee was questioned with regards to the improved performance of TAIWAN CAPTAIN today.   The only explanation he could offer was that the horse does not like to be bustled early and as such, instructed his jockey accordingly.  Furthermore,  he was also of the opinion that the going suited the gelding today.   His explanation was noted, however his attention was drawn to the MRA Rule 117(3) regarding ‘in-and-out’ running.
