Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) ANGEL OF MY HEART (*S Bungane) lost 1 length. b) BANZAI PIPELINE (*B Soodoo) lost 2 lengths. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED (SR) : a) Shortly after the start THAMBI (*G Samo-Burthia) was squeezed out when awkwardly placed between ANIMAL IMPACT (*N Yuen) and BLAZING LIGHT (*B Plaatjies) which jumped inwards leaving the starting stalls and resulted in Apprentice B Plaatjies (BLAZING LIGHT) briefly losing the footing to his right-side stirrup iron. Thereafter THAMBI (*G Samo-Burthia) which was over-racing, raced wide and without cover in the early and middle stages. b) In view of the performance of SILVER PLATTER (*S Valjalo) (7.40 lengths, 8/1 in the betting), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. c) BLAZING LIGHT (*B Plaatjies), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S H Ferrie was advised (DZ). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) Nil. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) Nil. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) SILVER PLATTER : Nothing obvious detected. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS : DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: a) None.
