Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	BOURBON RESERVE (C Zackey) was restless in the stalls, removed, examined by the course Veterinary Surgeon, passed suitable to race and reloaded, causing a delay.
b)	MASTER CASPER (S Khumalo) was stubborn loading.
c)	HAIR TRIGGER (KA Brewer) jumped slow, losing one to two lengths.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	Shortly after the start WHAT A TIGER (M Yeni) was bumped out by DONTSHOOTTHEBARMAN (R Danielson), which was carried out by HALBERDIER (J Gates), which shifted out. As a consequence, Jockey M Yeni (WHAT A TIGER) briefly lost his footing to his right-side stirrup iron. 
	Jockey J Gates appeared before the Board and was advised to take more care when shifting ground in races.
b)	At approximately the 300m DONTSHOOTTHEBARMAN (R Danielson) was brushed in by ADDRESS THE NATION (C Maujean), which shifted in sharply and was corrected.
