Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	WESTERN WALL (O Noach) jumped slow, losing one length.
b)	YZERFONTEIN (K Steyn) took an awkward stride leaving the stalls. 

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	DONDERSTORM (L Mxothwa) and QUANTIFIER (C Orffer) had to be steadied when racing tight on the inside of GIMME THE BEST (S Veale) which shifted in. Jockey S Veale appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol film and advised to be more aware of runners to his inside in similar circumstances.
b)	Jockey S Veale reported that GIMME THE BEST felt uncomfortable in its action and he did not persevere with his riding in the latter stages. The veterinary surgeon was requested to examine this gelding.
c)	Jockey O Noach 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 WESTERN WALL more than 12 times in the entire race. Jockey O Noach signed an admission of guilt and was fined R1000,00. In determining penalty, the Board took into account the distance over and manner in which Jockey O Noach used his crop and the number of strikes (13) over the permissible level. 
d)	IMPETUOUS, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer VH Marshall was advised. (SC)
