Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	Fair start.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	Leaving the 400m RESONATE (A Domeyer) raced onto and clipped the heels of IRISH MORNING (K de Melo) which then changed stride and shifted out, resulting in RESONATE (A Domeyer) having to be directed outwards to continue its run. As a consequence. FORT AGOPIAN (G Behr), which was racing on the outside of RESONATE (A Domeyer), was carried outwards for a number of strides. 
b)	Jockey G van Niekerk reported that HIS CHOICE felt awkward in its action from the 200m and he eased the gelding out of the race in the concluding stages. The veterinary surgeon was requested to examine. Trainer WA Nel will be advised to report back should he find anything amiss with this gelding on his return to the stables.
c)	IRISH MORNING, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer DM Kannemeyer was advised. (CvA)
d)	RESONATE, the second-placed horse, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer C Bass-Robinson was advised. (SC)
