Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) Fair start. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED (SR) : a) SNEEUWITJIE (*D Louw) jumped outwards leaving the starting stalls. Thereafter, Apprentice D Louw reported that the saddle slipped sideways in the running. This was confirmed by the patrol videos. b) At approximately the 1000m, SHIMMERING (*B Marx-Jacobson) and GOLDEN MOMENT (*D Pillay) which over-raced when fitted with blinkers for the first time, were awkwardly placed on the outside of ICY LANCASTER (S Khumalo) which rolled out marginally and on the inside of SNEEUWITJIE (*D Louw). c) A race review was called by a member of the Stipendiary Board into an incident which occurred leaving the 200m. After viewing the patrol films from the available angles, it was established that LIGHT OF GABRIEL (C Zackey) which shifted out marginally from the crop and BUTTERCUP BABY (R Venniker) which commenced to hang in, came together and bumped on two occasions. This resulted in both horses being momentarily unbalanced. The Steward was satisfied that this incident had not affected the result and therefore took no further action. d) BUTTERCUP BABY (R Venniker), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer W Whitehead was advised (HM). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) Jockey C Habib was the rider of MOVING IN (advised 17.11.2025/09h39). b) Apprentice D Louw (SNEEUWITJIE) was only able to claim 2.5kg of his 4kg apprentice allowance and weighed out at 49.5kg. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) Nil. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) No report. SCRATCHINGS : a) SIESTA SUNSET : Change of venue (Trainer - 17.11.2025/10h14). b) TREASURE ISLAND : Change of venue (Trainer - 17.11.2025/10h14). c) SONATA SAMARITAN : Change of venue (Trainer - 17.11.2025/10h40). DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: a) None.
