Stipes Report

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	In the early stages, AFRICAN TORRENT (K Matsunyane) proved difficult to settle whilst attempting to obtain cover behind MERIDIUS (G Lerena).
b)	Jockey G Lerena 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 MERIDIUS more than twelve times in the entire race.  Jockey G Lerena signed an Admission of Guilt and a fine of R750 was imposed. 
When assessing this penalty, the Board took into consideration the number of times the crop was used (13) and Jockey G Lerena's recent record with regard to this Rule and Guideline (1).  	
c)	AFRICAN TORRENT (K Matsunyane), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer A Azzie advised (LN).
