Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a) PLATINA PRINCESS (M Yeni) was restless in the stalls, rushed the front gates and jumped slow, losing one length.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:

a) The Stipendiary Board reviewed the start with regards to PLATINA PRINCESS (M Yeni) in stall gate 2 and established that shortly before the start was effected, the filly had become restless and rushed the front gates. As a consequence of this, the Handler assigned to her had been fractionally late releasing his hold, which resulted in her being slow away. The Board was of the opinion that the impediment and subsequent loss of one length was as a consequence of this filly's own behaviour and, acting in terms of Rule 61.5.10.3, declared her a runner.
b) Jockey M Yeni appeared before the Board and he explained that after the above-mentioned incident, he had pre-empted a false start being called and had therefore not been vigorous in the early stages. After gaining momentum, PLATINA PRINCESS had made up some ground on the field before tiring. Jockey Yeni was advised not to anticipate the Starter's actions and to ride to the required standard of a professional Jockey.
c) SWING UPON A STAR, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer SG Tarry was advised. (MdP)
