Stipes Report
THE START OF THIS RACE WAS DELAYED DUE TO THE DELAY IN THE PREVIOUS RACE. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) GREATERIX (M Yeni) jumped inwards leaving the stalls. b) COSMIC SPEED (C Zackey) jumped outwards leaving the stalls. c) FIRE 'N FLAMES (N Klink) was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) A race review was called into the start of this race with regards to MAIN DEFENDER (G Lerena) in stall gate 5. The Stewards established that as the start was effected, and this gelding launched itself from the starting stalls, its muzzle was caught in the grill of the left front gate as it opened, and its head was turned as a result. The Handler was slow to release the head of MAIN DEFENDER because of this. The Stewards reviewed this incident from various angles and at various speeds, and were comfortable to the requisite degree that MAIN DEFENDER had been prevented from starting on equal terms and its chances in this race had been materially affected as a consequence of this incident. Consequently, MAIN DEFENDER was declared to be a non-runner in terms of the provisions of Rule 61.5.10.2. b) The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine MAIN DEFENDER. c) COSMIC SPEED (C Zackey), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S G Tarry advised (MS). Race 8 contd. JOCKEY CHANGES: a) FIRE 'N FLAMES was ridden by Jockey N Klink (declared 26 February 2025 at 10H17). RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: None.
