Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) ESSENTIAL (L Mxothwa) was reluctant to proceed to the start and had to be assisted by a handler, causing a delay. This filly is suspended indefinitely in terms of Rule 93.2.4 until such time as she proves tractable proceeding to the start on a race day. Assistant Trainer DG Smith was advised. b) ESSENTIAL (L Mxothwa), BACK FOR MORE (K Minnie) and TREASURE HUNT (S Veale) were nervous in the stalls. c) WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (R Fourie) jumped slow, losing two lengths. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) ESSENTIAL over raced in the early and middle stages. Thereafter, Jockey L Mxothwa reported that this filly tired quickly and he did not persevere with his riding from the 100m to the finish. Jockey L Mxothwa appeared before the Board and was advised that although he had reported his mount tired quickly, he is still required to ride his mount, at least hands and heels, across the finish line. In view of the Veterinary Surgeon's report regarding ESSENTIAL, this filly is suspended in terms of Rule 49.7 and a Veterinary Certificate is required prior to racing. Assistant Trainer DG Smith was advised.
