When questioned regarding this, Jockey S Salee (BATTLESTAR) stated that with its weight at 59kgs, he had been instructed to reserve the gelding, however, when in a prominent position, had been unable to cross as ELEGENT (App M Lukman) was holding its ground on his inside.

A post-race veterinary examination of BATTLESTAR revealed that it was lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.
Jockey M Ewe (LITTLE MERMAID) advised that the gelding had never been competitive and raced in a flat manner.
