THE STARTER REPORTED: a) During the loading process, CIRCUS LIGHTS (*K A Brewer) kicked the back gates resulting in EYE OF THE PROPHET (*R A Venniker) becoming restless, breaking through the front gates, returning to the start, being checked by the Course Veterinary Surgeon, passed fit to race and reloaded. Trainer G J Maroun will be advised to re-school CIRCUS LIGHTS prior to its next engagement (BN). b) BLYDE RIVER (M van Rensburg) was slow into stride. c) DESERT FOX (P Strydom) was slow losing one length. d) NOBLE KINGDOM (R Munger) jumped inwards leaving the stalls.

Apprentice Venniker appeared before the Board and was advised to keep her mounts on a straight course in races. c) In view of the performance of DESERT FOX (P Strydom), (betting 28/10, distance 14,25 lengths), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. When afforded the opportunity to place on record any factors which may have accounted for the poor performance of DESERT FOX, Jockey Strydom explained to the Board that DESERT FOX had expended unnecessary energy after being unruly proceeding to the start.

As a consequence of this, Jockey Strydom did not persevere with his riding from the 200m. Trainer B Botes was requested to report back to the Board on the condition of this gelding on return to stables. d) EYE OF THE PROPHET (*R A Venniker), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.
