Stipes Report

THE STARTER HAD NO REPORTS. 
	
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	BATTLEOFBARBERTON (P Strydom) over-raced in the early and middles stages. 
When questioned regarding his ride on BATTLEOFBARBERTON, with particular reference to the change of tactics in today's race, Jockey P Strydom explained to the Board that, from an inside draw, this gelding had been slow away and that runners on his outside had obtained first run on him, which resulted in him sitting further back than anticipated. He further added that that once covered up, BATTLEOFBARBERTON raced fiercely and refused to settle. At the 1200m, he directed this gelding outwards away from other runners in an attempt to improve his position and that these factors, in his opinion, had led to this gelding having done too much and therefore he was unable to sustain a strong finish. 
b)	ATARIME (R A Venniker), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.	
Trainer P F Matchett advised (MS).
