Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	BOSNAY (*N Nastili) was stubborn loading. 
b)	VIHAAN'S QUEEN (W Agrella) was slow into stride. 

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels and no retests were recorded. (12h56)
b)	Permission was granted for UMZOLOZOLO (M van Rensburg) to be assisted by a lead pony when proceeding to the start.
c)	GREENLIGHT DANCER (*B Soodoo) over raced in the early and middle stages and as a consequence, raced wide on the turn and into the straight. Thereafter, the saddle on GREENLIGHT DANCER slipped forward in running, which resulted in Apprentice B Soodoo being unable to fully assist this filly and placing him at a disadvantage.
d)	Apprentice N Nastili reported that he felt something amiss with BOSNAY. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this mare.
e)	STATE SECRET, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer TJ Laing was advised. (LM)
