Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED (DM) :
a)	During the loading process GOLDEN RULE (T Godden) became restless and nudged the front gates open marginally prematurely as the start was effected. The Board was satisfied that GOLDEN RULE (T Godden) had gained no advantage and therefore took no further action.
b)	In the concluding stages ROSH KEDESH (C Zackey) was steadied in anticipation of being awkwardly placed on the heels of SERPENTINE FIRE (M V'Rensburg) and ICY BLAST (M Michel) which were carried in by GOLDEN RULE (T Godden) which commenced to hang in from the 350m.
c)	Jockey S Veale reported that he felt something amiss in the running with MIKE'S MAZARIN. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine.
