Stipes Report

THE START OF THIS RACE WAS DELAYED DUE TO A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH THE STARTING STALLS. 

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a)	During the loading process, SHES EVERYTHING (L Nhlapo) kicked the rear gates, which caused the premature opening of the starting stalls. As a result, ULTRA PURSUIT (J R Syster) and FEARLESS BOMBER (J Penny) exited the stalls prior to the start.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a) 	During the loading process, SHES EVERYTHING (L Nhlapo) kicked the rear gates, resulting in the unintended opening of stall gate 3 (FEARLESS BOMBER) and stall gate 5 (ONO NO KOMACHI). Consequently, ULTRA PURSUIT (J R Syster) and FEARLESS BOMBER (J Penny) exited the stalls, with Jockey J R Syster being dislodged and ULTRA PURSUIT subsequently bolting for a considerable distance. FEARLESS BOMBER was restrained by Jockey J Penny, returned to the start, examined by the Veterinary Surgeon, declared fit to race, and reloaded. ULTRA PURSUIT was subsequently scratched by order of the Stipendiary Steward for delaying the start.
