Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) NUCLEAR FORCE (C Habib) was slow losing three lengths. Trainer E Verdonese was advised to reschool this gelding prior to his next engagement (GT). b) FLAG BEARER (*G Samo-Burthia) was slow losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) DOUGLAS DRAGON (J Penny) hung in from the 300m. b) Leaving the 250m, BANHA BRIDGE (*T Mayhew) raced in restricted galloping room between the inside running rail and NUCLEAR FORCE (C Habib), which showed a tendency to hang inwards. c) In view of the performance of FLAG BEARER (*G Samo-Burthia), (distance 10,00 lengths, betting 3/1), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. d) In view of the performance of MAMBO COME TESIO (M van Rensburg), (distance 12,50 lengths, betting 28/10), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. e) The Stewards, in consolation with the National Riding Master, Mr R Moore, determined that Apprentice G Samo-Burthia's (FLAG BEARER) ride in this race did not meet the criteria for a qualifying ride.

Trainer M Khan advised (MS). g) FLAG BEARER (*G Samo-Burthia), unplaced, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer F Bronkhorst advised (AH).
