b)	Leaving the 400m, TAIKONAUT (G Lerena) which hung in from the 600m, had to switch out to avoid the heels of WITHOUT EQUAL (W Kennedy) which commenced to hang out.
c)	Jockey G Lerena was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (read with Guideline M on the use of the crop) in that he misused his crop by striking TAIKONAUT more than twelve times in the entire race.  Jockey Lerena signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined R2500.
