Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

b)	OPERA VERSE (K Steyn) jumped awkwardly.
c)	BECKY SHARP (A Arries), TRUE HORIZON (A Andrews) and JET GREEN (M Mjoka) were slow into stride.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	CHAKPORI (C Orffer) proved difficult proceeding to the start and had to be led riderless by a Handler, causing a delay. This filly is suspended indefinitely in terms of Rule 93.2.4 until such time as she proves tractable proceeding to the start on a race day.
b)	From an outside draw, COTONOU (G van Niekerk) was steadied shortly after the start and taken in behind runners.
c)	Approaching the 400m BECKY SHARP (A Arries) had to be directed outwards away from the heels of BLACK HOLE SUN (D Ashby), which commenced to give ground to the field. Thereafter, in the concluding stages, Jockey A Arries was unable to ride BECKY SHARP to the finish when awkwardly placed on the outside of the heels of TRUE HORIZON (A Andrews).
d)	Leaving the 200m JET GREEN (M Mjoka) was directed outwards to secure clear running.
e)	Jockey D Ashby reported that BLACK HOLE SUN did not stride out freely in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this mare.
f)	Jockey R Fourie was charged with a contravention of Rule 55.4 in that he failed to weigh out at the carded weight on ROCKING PEONIE, or at the higher weight confirmed in his engagement with the Trainer. Jockey R Fourie signed an admission of guilt and was fined R1000.00.
g)	A THOUSAND KISSES, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer L Gila was advised. (SC)
