UNIVERSAL BLAZE will undergo a thorough veterinary examination before its next race. GLUCK RACER (E157) with K. Teetan in the saddle, was crowded by SO AWESOME (D258) as they approached the 1000-meter mark. This forced GLUCK RACER to be checked, requiring a post-race sample analysis. HOSS (H055), ridden by J.

Bowman aboard, faced a bumpy start, being bumped heavily at the jump and then needing adjustment from a wide starting position. Later in the race, FAMILY FORTUNE could not be fully ridden out due to GANGNAM STAR shifting in, but a post-race veterinary inspection did not reveal any concerns. SO AWESOME (D258), ridden by C.Y. Ho, displayed keen racing in the early stages and momentarily reared up when being directed away from MANYTHANKS FOREVER (J065) near the 1000-meter mark.SO AWESOME was also sent for post-race sampling. PODIUM (H173) with M. F. Poon in the saddle, shifted inward at the start, colliding with FAMILY FORTUNE and becoming unbalanced. PODIUM then adjusted its position, moving behind other horses from its outside starting gate. DOUBLE SHOW (G250), ridden by L.
