Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) BARATHEON (JP van der Merwe) kicked the back gates of the starting stalls, caught his leg in the back gates, was taken out, examined by the course veterinary surgeon and withdrawn. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) The start of this race was delayed due to the late scratching of BARATHEON (JP van der Merwe) (Betting 3/1) and to allow the betting public an opportunity to restructure their bets. b) At the 100m SOMERSET MAUGHAM (R Fourie) changed stride and became momentarily unbalanced when brushed inwards by HAN SOLO (C Habib), which was hanging in and shifted in. After being straightened HAN SOLO (C Habib) continued to shift in slightly and brushed SOMERSET MAUGHAM (R Fourie) shortly before the finish. Trainer SJ Snaith called a race review regarding this incident, which was followed by an Objection being lodged by Jockey R Fourie, the rider of the 2nd placed horse SOMERSET MAUGHAM against the winner HAN SOLO (C Habib) on the grounds of interference in the latter stages. The Objection Board, after giving due regard to the evidence put forward, reviewing the patrol films and giving consideration to the margin of 0,05 of a length between the two horses concerned, was of the opinion that but for the interference SOMERSET MAUGHAM would have finished ahead of HAN SOLO had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the Objection. Jockey Fourie's deposit was refunded. c) Jockey L Tarentaal reported that he felt something amiss with PACK LEADER and he did not persevere with his riding from the 300m. The veterinary surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. d) In view of the report from the Starter regarding BARATHEON (JP van der Merwe), Trainer PAW Botha will be advised to have this gelding re-schooled before his next engagement in terms of Rule 61.6.10. e) Jockey R Fourie 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 SOMERSET MAUGHAM more than 12 times in the entire race. Jockey R Fourie signed an admission of guilt and was fined R2500,00. In determining penalty, the Board took into account the distance over and manner in which Jockey R Fourie used his crop, Jockey R Fourie's recent record, the number of strikes (14) over the permissible level and the value of the race. f) HAN SOLO, placed second on objection, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer GS Kotzen was advised. (RS) g) SOMERSET MAUGHAM, the winner on objection, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer SJ Snaith was advised.
