Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	LANDINGONTHEMOON (D Ashby) was stubborn loading.
b)	SHUNMYO (M Yeni) and SAHNISH GIRL (Y Ramzan) were nervous in the stalls.


THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	From a wide draw BIG FELLA (E Webber) was ridden forward and then raced freely at the front of the field. 	Thereafter, BIG FELLA (E Webber) took an awkward stride approaching the 50m.
b)	Leaving the 1200m SUNDROP (X Ndlovu) had to be steadied when close to the heels of FLAMING DRUM 	(G Lerena), which over raced in the early and middle stages and rolled out on the early part of the turn.
c)	At the 850m AFRODITE went amiss and was immediately eased out of the race by Jockey S Khathi. 
	SHUNMYO (M Yeni), which was following, had to be checked and directed outwards to avoid the stricken 	horse. As a consequence, MOHANDAS (R Fourie), LANDINGONTHEMOON (D Ashby) and ANNA 	KARENINA (S Khumalo) were in turn steadied and taken wide on the latter part of the turn. 
d)	Jockey M van Rensburg reported that he felt something amiss with TEMPELHOFF, which took a number of 	awkward strides approaching the 300m and he did not persevere with his riding thereafter. ANNA 	KARENINA (S Khumalo), which was following, had to be directed outwards to avoid the heels of 	TEMPELHOFF (M van Rensburg) as a consequence. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine 	TEMPELHOFF.
e)	At the 250m MOHANDAS (R Fourie), which showed a tendency to hang inwards, was directed to the 	inside of WOLFRAM (C Maujean) to continue its run.
f)	BIG FELLA, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer K Mitchley was 	advised. (LM)
