c)	Approaching the 200m PEARL IN HER CROWN (M Yeni) was brushed out by BASIE RAAKVAT (N Patel) which rolled out. Thereafter, at the 150m PEARL IN HER CROWN (M Yeni) was carried out by BASIE RAAKVAT (N Patel) which shifted out.

During this incident Jockey K de Melo (RUN TO RIO) was accidentally struck on the arm on two occasions by Jockey M Yeni's (PEARL IN HER CROWN) crop.
d)	A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey M Yeni, the rider of the third-placed horse PEARL IN HER CROWN, against the second-placed horse BASIE RAAKVAT (N Patel) on the grounds of interference and intimidation over the final 250m. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board upheld the objection and amended the Judge's result.
