THE STARTER REPORTED: a) POMP AND POWER (R Fourie) was fractious, refused to load and was withdrawn, causing a lengthy delay. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) TRIP OF FORTUNE (A Domeyer) proved difficult proceeding to the start and had to be assisted by a Handler. Trainer C Bass-Robinson was advised that should this gelding behave in a similar manner in future engagements, he may be suspended. b) At the 200m SILVER OPERATOR (G van Niekerk) shifted out, carried TRIP OF FORTUNE (A Domeyer) outwards and made contact with TRIP OF FORTUNE (A Domeyer) at the 100m. As a result, TRIP OF FORTUNE (A Domeyer) became momentarily unbalanced, shifted in and brushed SILVER OPERATOR (G van Niekerk) shortly before the finish. A member of the Stipendiary Board called a race review regarding this incident, which was followed by an Objection being lodged by him on behalf of the 2nd placed horse TRIP OF FORTUNE (A Domeyer) against the winner SILVER OPERATOR (G van Niekerk) on the grounds of interference in the latter stages. The Objection Board, after giving due regard to the evidence put forward, reviewing the patrol films and giving consideration to the margin of 0,05 of a length between the two horses concerned, was of the opinion that but for the interference TRIP OF FORTUNE would have finished ahead of SILVER OPERATOR had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the Objection. c) In view of the report from the starter regarding POMP AND POWER (R Fourie), this gelding's starting stall certificate has been withdrawn for 7 days and he is suspended in terms of Rule 61.6.10 and until such time as he proves to be tractable with a companion on a race day. Suspension dates: 02/10/2022 to 08/10/2022 inclusive). POMP AND POWER may not be presented for re-passing during this period. d) SILVER OPERATOR, placed second on objection, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer VH Marshall was advised. (TJ) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) Nil RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER a) Nil THE VETERINARY SURGEON HAD NO REPORTS SCRATCHED: a) POMP AND POWER - withdrawn at the start. Intractable
