Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	During the loading process the tongue tie fitted to SANCTITY (*KA Brewer) came undone and had to be re-fitted. 
b)	ABSOLU NOIR (L Nhlapo) and HIGHER PURPOSE (M Thackeray) were stubborn loading.
c)	OPEN SECRET (R Fourie), FIERY DUKE (S Khathi) and CALLMEMRGREENLIGHT (J Gates) jumped slow, losing one length.
d)	MR BODACIOUS (JP van der Merwe) jumped inwards.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	Shortly after the start JOYOUS JUBILEE (AUS) (R Munger) and GRANDDADDY PURPLE (T Gould) were carried inwards and made contact when racing tight on the inside of HIGHER PURPOSE (M Thackeray), which shifted in. Jockey M Thackeray appeared before the Board and was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.
b)	Leaving the 300m CALLMEMRGREENLIGHT (J Gates) was unable to secure a clear run between the inside running rail and HIGH LEGISLATION (D Ashby), which rolled in marginally. Thereafter, CALLMEMRGREENLIGHT (J Gates) was switched inwards to continue its run.
c)	In the concluding stages JAQUAR CAT (D Schwarz), which initially shifted out, was bumped by RAINBOW THIEF (C Maujean), which shifted in suddenly and became unbalanced at the finish. As a consequence, Jockey X Ndlovu was unable to ride ANGELSEA, which was following, to the finish when awkwardly placed close to the heels of JAQUAR CAT (D Schwarz). 
d)	In view of the performances of STAY THE COURSE (S Khumalo) and HIGHER PURPOSE (M Thackeray) the veterinary surgeon was requested to examine these geldings.
e)	In view of the report from the Starter regarding HIGHER PURPOSE (M Thackeray), Trainer L Gila will be advised to have this gelding re-schooled prior to his next engagement in terms of Rule 61.6.10.
f)	Jockey L Mxothwa was charged with a contravention of Rule 55.4 in that he failed to weigh out at the carded weight on WARBONNET CREEK (IRE). Jockey Mxothwa signed an admission of guilt and was fined R2000.00. Jockey Mxothwa was further advised that should this trend of being unable to draw the correct weight continue, the Stewards will consider placing a weight restriction on him. 
g)	RAINBOW THIEF, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer JP Nel was advised. (LM)
