Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:  
a)	FUTURE SWING (R Fourie) was restless in the stalls.  Lost 2 lengths. 
b)	SON OF RAJ (C Habib) was restless in the stalls. 
  
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED :
a)	Approaching the 1000m, as the pace of this Race slowed ROYAL VICTORY (M Yeni) and in turn BARBARESCO (G Lerena) were steadied. As a result SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) was eased off the heels of BARBARESCO (G Lerena) resulting in FUTURE SWING (R Fourie) being tightened and unbalanced alongside the inside running rail and HLUHLUWE (R A Venniker) being steadied outwards. Immediately thereafter Jockey D De Gouveia being under the impression that something was amiss with SHOEMAKER (D De Gouveia), eased this gelding out of the Race. This resulted in HLLUHLUWE (R A Venniker) switching out sharply to avoid the heels of SHOEMAKER (D De Gouveia), carrying MASTER REDOUTE (C Orffer) wide. 
b)	Approaching the 300m GREEN WITH ENVY (C Zackey) was switched to the outside of SON OF RAJ (C Habib) to continue its run.
c)	HLUHLUWE (R A Venniker) was hanging in from the 300m.
d)	In the concluding stages SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) was eased when awkwardly placed on the heels of ORIENTAL CHARM (J P v'd Merwe) which shifted in. Jockey J P v'd Merwe signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 62.2.7 in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) in the concluding stages. Accordingly, a penalty of a suspension from riding in races for a period of 16 days was imposed (Dates to be advised).
e)	In the concluding stages FLAG MAN (S Moodley) changed stride when brushed by ROYAL VICTORY (M Yeni) which rolled in. 
f)	In view of the performance FUTURE SWING (R Fourie) (18.05 lengths, 25/2 in the betting), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. 
g)	Jockeys P Mxoli (PURPLE PITCHER) and C Habib (SON OF RAJ) reported their respective mounts did not stride out freely in the running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine.
h)	In view of the Veterinary Surgeon's report concerning SHOEMAKER, and in terms of Rule 93.1, this gelding is suspended for 60 days from racing in any race under the jurisdiction of the National Horseracing Authority. Trainer M F De Kock was advised (Suspension date : 07.07.2024 - 04.09.2024 bdi).
i)	An Inquiry will be opened into Jockey S Khumalo's (COUSIN CASEY) crop use over the final 300m. 
j)	ORIENTAL CHARM (J P v'd Merwe), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer B Crawford advised (SP).
k)	COUSIN CASEY (S Khumalo), placed second, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S G Tarry advised (NS).
l)	ROYAL VICTORY (M Yeni), placed third, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer N Kotzen advised (NS).
