Stewards Report: The declared rider of Dhi Qar, Szczepan Mazur, was unwell and permission was given for Anas Al Seyabi to be substituted.The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of Hareeb, which finished in second place beaten half a length. They interviewed the rider, Alberto Sanna, and the trainer, Rudy Andre Nerbonne. Alberto Sanna stated that he delayed his finishing effort until the 200m because he felt that Hareeb was travelling sufficiently well to win the race comfortably but that his mount found less than he expected for pressure. Rudy Andre Nerbonne stated that he instructed Alberto Sanna to ride Hareeb in a confident manner as he expected the colt to win. He added that horses often underperform somewhat on their first attempt on a dirt surface, and he felt that this applied to Hareeb today. At the conclusion of the enquiry, Alberto Sanna was warned that he must ride all his mounts in a manner that leaves no room for query.
