Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	CENTRAL CITY (R Fourie) and SPRING HIGH (C Maujean) jumped awkwardly and thereafter, were slow into stride.
b) 	LADY TIPTREE (R Khathi), QUESTION MASTER (J Gates) and SPIN DOCTOR (D Ashby) were slow into stride.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	Jockey K Steyn reported that he felt something amiss with JACOB'S LADDER. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding.
b)	Jockey R Khathi (LADY TIPTREE) was dislodged in the pull-up area and was attended to on course by the paramedics. This precluded Jockey R Khathi from being able to weigh in. In terms of Rule 66.2 the Stewards were satisfied that LADY TIPTREE had carried the correct weight.
