Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	EARN THE WEEKEND (S Veale) and STEALTH MASTER (C Zackey) jumped slow, losing one length.
b)	RUBEE KING (G van Niekerk) jumped outwards.
c)	SHESHELEZA (R Fourie) took an awkward stride leaving the stalls.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels and no retests were recorded. (12h26)
b)	At the 300m RUBEE KING (G van Niekerk), which raced green, was initially carried inwards and was 	brushed on the hindquarters by THE CULLINAN (A Domeyer). As a consequence, RUBEE KING (G 	van Niekerk) was turned outwards and then shifted out in spite of Jockey G van Niekerk's efforts to 	straighten this colt. As a result, THE CULLINAN (A Domeyer) had to be steadied and made contact with 	the hindquarters of KING OF FATE (C Orffer) and 	SHESHELEZA (R Fourie) had to be steadied for a 	number of strides and shifted out. During this incident, RUBEE KING (G van Niekerk) cast its right hind 	shoe. 
	The Stewards, after viewing this incident from all angles, were of the opinion that there were a number 	of mitigating circumstances, could not apportion blame to any individual Rider and ruled this to be a 	racing incident.
c)	At the 200m EARN THE WEEKEND (S Veale), which raced green, was bumped outwards by 	SHESHELEZA (R Fourie) and had to be steadied away from the heels of VERCICAT (M Yeni). 
d)	ONE SPIRIT (O Noach) and VERCICAT (M Yeni) brushed at the finish. 
e)	Jockey C Murray reported that HAVOC made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. The Veterinary 	Surgeon was requested to examine this colt.
f)	EARN THE WEEKEND, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer E 	Steyn was advised. (TJ)
