TT Y

SIDESWIPE was slow into stride. Shortly after the start, STUNNING GUEST and JACK'S were carried out by ICE BARON which jumped out. Thereafter, ICE BARON raced wide around the field early and to the outside of the leader, one out, at approximately 1300m. At the 1300m, TWICE THE FLIGHT raced fiercely for a number of strides. Jockey Khumalo reported that STUNNING GUEST made an abnormal respiratory noise in the running. Jockey Yeni reported that HAVE ANOTHER was not striding out freely in the running. Assistant Trainer Peter appeared before the Board on behalf of Trainer Peter, and was questioned regarding the poor debut performance of WESTERN FORT. In this regard, he explained to the Board that after jumping slowly in a work rider's race which was run at a fast pace, WESTERN FORT found himself detached in a spread out field. However despite this colt's poor early position, he ran on steadily to finish 8th in a field which finished with large distances between the runners. It was the Assistant Trainer Peter's view that today each of, jumping better, the stronger handling and stepping up in distance, contributed to the improved performance of WESTERN FORT. The Board noted the explanation of Assistant Trainer Peter which was corroborated by the form of WESTERN FORT. WESTERN FORT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. HAVE ANOTHER raced with a tongue tie. SIDESWIPE raced with alumites in front, unshod behind Vet: STUNNING GUEST - not striding out right hind. HAVE ANOTHER - not striding out right hind.
