The racing incident report details several key occurrences during the race involving multiple horses. SMILING EMPEROR (No. 1) was bumped at the start, causing it to shift in and make contact with IRON LEGION (No. 4), who was also crowded and steadied early on. SILVER KING (No. 12), a known “roarer,” raced wide without cover and finished tailed out, leading to a requirement for a barrier trial and veterinary check before racing again. GANGNAM STAR (No. 10) was noted to have blood in its mouth pre-race but was cleared to run; however, its jockey was reprimanded for a dangerous move that caused the horse to blunder.

Other horses experienced crowding and interference at various points, with PANDA LEGEND (No. 3) racing keenly after being crossed by SMILING EMPEROR, and SHINE BRIGHT (No. 7) leading early but not sustaining the distance. Several jockeys, including those on SILVER KING and SMILING EMPEROR, received reprimands for their handling during the race. Post-race veterinary inspections were conducted on multiple horses, with no significant findings except for SILVER KING’s known respiratory issue. Some horses, including IRON LEGION and HARRY’S HERO, were sent for sampling post-race.
