Stipes Report
The start of this race was delayed due to Jockey P Strydom having to re-saddle SEE IT AGAIN at the start and due to SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) and FLAG MAN (S Moodley) proving stubborn to load. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) was stubborn to load. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) which raced wide around the turn and without cover, over-raced in the early and middle stages. b) At the 900m BARBARESCO (G Lerena) was brushed by SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) which rolled in marginally. As a result SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) became momentarily unbalanced. c) At the 250m HLUHLUWE (G van Niekerk) and in turn FLAG MAN (S Moodley) were carried out by ROYAL VICTORY (M Yeni) which rolled out. d) PURPLE PITCHER (C Habib) and SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom), which was hanging in from the 350m, raced in close proximity in the concluding stages. An Objection was lodged by Jockey C Habib on behalf of the joint third placed horse PURPLE PITCHER, against the other joint third placed horse SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. In view of the above report, the Objection was overruled and the Judges' result was allowed to stand. In the opinion of the Stewards, the Objection had no prospect of success and therefore Jockey Habib's deposit was declared forfeited. e) Jockey S Moodley reported that the saddle on FLAG MAN slipped back in the running. This was confirmed by the Veterinary Surgeon. f) In view of the performance of DOUBLE SUPERLATIVE (K de Melo) (10.60 lengths, 10/1 in the betting), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. g) DAVE THE KING (R Fourie), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer M F De Kock advised (DZ). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) Nil. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) Nil. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) DOUBLE SUPERLATIVE : Nothing obvious detected. SCRATCHINGS : a) WINCHESTER MANSION : Pulled muscle (Trainer - 23.07.2024/10h06). Rule 53.5 applies. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: a) None.
