Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	SUGAR BEACH (+M Duba) jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:

a)	Shortly after the start, FLAG BEARER (+P Mlangeni) and APACHE RUN (+A Feni) came together and brushed.  Thereafter approaching the 1400m, VENGEANCE FOREVER (+J Gwingwizha) became unbalanced when bumped in by APACHE RUN which was carried in by GIMME A DREAM (+P Mongqawa) which shifted in when insufficiently clear.  This incident resulted in SHIPS AT SEA (+C Mabaya) having to steady on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed on the inside of VENGEANCE FOREVER and on the heels of BLACKBURN JET (+T Ncume). 
Workrider P Mongqawa was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.7 in that he, as the rider of GIMME A DREAM, failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to a number of runners on his inside when he shifted in shortly after the start.
Workrider Mongqawa signed an Admission of Guilt and is suspended from riding in two Workrider races.
Dates of Suspension:  10 May and 19 May 2022.
