Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED 

A)	SAFARI BLUE was slow into stride.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED

A)	Approaching the 400m, while attempting to secure a narrow run between BUSH TRACKER (R Fourie) and YOU KNOW WHO (*K A Brewer) which was hanging in, MASTER REDOUTE (G van Niekerk) took an awkward stride after clipping the heels of BUSH TRACKER. MASTER REDOUTE was then steadied and directed outwards into clear running.
B)	When questioned regarding his riding of MASTER REDOUTE in the straight, Jockey G van Niekerk told the Stewards that on entering the straight he was racing on the outside of SWEET THE SOUND (G Cheyne) and was unable to shift inwards and felt that it would have been too early at that stage of the race to shift out and into clear running on the outside of the field. He had therefore elected to attempt a run between BUSH TRACKER (R Fourie) and YOU KNOW WHO (*K A Brewer), however MASTER REDOUTE had not quickened like he had anticipated and the run between horses tightened. He then had no choice but to direct MASTER REDOUTE outwards into clear running. After reviewing the race recording, the Stewards noted Jockey G van Niekerk explanation.
C)	Leaving the 200m, BUSH TRACKER (R Fourie) was steadied momentarily when tightened for galloping room between SWEET THE SOUND (G Cheyne) and YOU KNOW WHO (*K A Brewer) which was hanging in.
D)	The winner SAFARI BLUE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis, Trainer G D Smith advised (LM).
E)	The second placed horse MASTER REDOUTE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis, Stable Employee S A Mqamelo acting on behalf of Trainer W A Nel advised (LM).
