Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a)	TWICE THE TRIP (C Habib) jumped outwards leaving the stalls.	
b)	SIMPLY COMPLICATED (J P van der Merwe) was slow losing one length.	

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	SIMPLY COMPLICATED (J P van der Merwe) compounded from the 250m.
b)	From the 150m, TEAM GOLD (R Danielson) was carried out significantly by FAST LOVE (*J R Syster), which shifted out away from the crop.	
A race review was called by a member of the Stipendiary Board which was followed by an Objection being lodged by Trainer R R Magner on behalf of the third-placed horse, TEAM GOLD (R Danielson), against the second-placed horse, FAST LOVE (*J R Syster), on the grounds of interference and taking up TEAM GOLD'S running in the concluding stages.  The Objection Board, after reviewing the patrol film of the race and hearing all the evidence put forward by the connections, taking into consideration the distance TEAM GOLD (R Danielson) was carried out and the manner in which he was running on, was of the opinion that TEAM GOLD (R Danielson) would have finished in front of FAST LOVE (*J R Syster), barring this incident, and therefore upheld the Objection and amended the Judges result to read as follows:

1st		3 	CASTLETOWN 	(K Matsunyane)
	2nd		1 	TEAM GOLD 		(R Danielson)
	3rd		5	FAST LOVE 		(*J R Syster)
	4th		2 	FLASHY APACHE 	(D Schwarz)
	5th		4 	SILVER TYCOON	(G Lerena)
