b)	Permission was granted for GALE WARNING (*I Taka) to be assisted by a lead pony when proceeding to the start.  
c)	GALE WARNING (*I Taka) proved difficult proceeding to the start and had to be led riderless by a Handler, 	causing a delay. This gelding is suspended indefinitely in terms of Rule 93.2.4 until such time as he proves 	tractable proceeding to the start on a race day.
	Apprentice I Taka was charged with a contravention of Rule 61.3.4 in that he attempted to avoid his duty to ride GALE WARNING to the start by getting into the human ambulance.
