Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	WINTER CLOUD (G van Niekerk) jumped slow, losing one length.
b)	DISTANT WINTER (A Domeyer) jumped awkwardly
c) 	GOLDEN TATJANA (JP van der Merwe) was slow into stride.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	Leaving the 400m FIBONACCI (O Noach) was brushed outwards by GIMMELIGHTNING (R Fourie), which was unable to secure a clear run between THE ABDICATOR (IRE) (L Mxothwa) and RASCOVA (G Lerena) and was directed outwards into clear running. Thereafter GIMMELIGHTNING (R Fourie) was hanging out from the 300m. Jockey R Fourie appeared before the Board and was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.
b)	Approaching the 100m Jockey K de Melo (TEFLON MAN) hesitated with his riding when tightened for galloping room between GOLDEN TATJANA (JP van der Merwe) and RASCOVA (G Lerena), which rolled in slightly away from DISTANT WINTER (A Domeyer).
c)	In view of the performances of BOHEMIAN GROVE (P Strydom) and EVIES HORIZON (S Veale) the veterinary surgeon was requested to examine these colts.
d)	WINTER CLOUD, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer C Bass-Robinson was advised. (SC)
