Stipes Report
THE STARTER HAD NO REPORTS. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At approximately the 150m, TROMPIE (K Matsunyane) had to ease off the heels of CAPTAIN PEG (*S Sosibo), which shifted out when insufficiently clear. Apprentice S Sosibo was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.7 in that he, as the rider of CAPTAIN PEG, failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to TROMPIE (K Matsunyane) when he shifted out at approximately the 150m. Apprentice S Sosibo signed an Admission of Guilt and is suspended from riding in races for a period of seven days. Suspension dates: 23 February 2024 to 29 February 2024 (both dates inclusive). b) Shortly before the finish line, MELECH (G Lerena) was bumped by MAIN DEFENDER (C Habib), which shifted in away from the crop. As a consequence, MAIN DEFENDER (C Habib) became severely unbalanced and lost momentum. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine MAIN DEFENDER. An inquiry will be opened into this incident. c) MELECH (G Lerena), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer C Botha, acting on behalf of Trainer R R Magner, was advised (MduP).
