Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	PRITTI UNITED (*B Plaatjies) and HILTON HEADS (R Fourie) jumped slow, losing one length.
	
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels and no retests were recorded. (13h36)
b)	For a short distance leaving the 800m, PRITTI UNITED (*B Plaatjies) raced awkwardly with its head to 	one side when close to the heels of THE BIG BANG (A Domeyer). Thereafter, at the 500m PRITTI 	UNITED (*B Plaatjies) brushed the inside running rail and had to be steadied and directed outwards to 	avoid the heels of a tiring MISTER ED (*EJ Muller). As a consequence, PRITTI UNITED (*B Plaatjies) 	lost ground to the field between the 800m and the 400m.
c)	Jockey R Fourie reported that HILTON HEADS choked up in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was 	requested to examine this gelding.
d)	In view of the debut performance of MISTER ED (*EJ Muller), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to 	examine this gelding.
e)	SKY ROCKET, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer G 	Woodruff, acting on behalf of Trainer L Woodruff, was advised. (SC)
