THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) FUNKY MUSIC (T Gumede) and GIMME A RAINBOW (*M K Katjedi) brushed on 2 occasions shortly before the finish. b) Jockey S Veale signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2, read in conjunction M, in that he mis-used his crop by striking the horse PURPLE OPERATOR more than 12 times in the entire race. In assessing penalty, the Board considered the number of times (16) Jockey S Veale struck the horse PURPLE OPERATOR, the distance over which and manner in which he used his crop, his record (3) in relation to this Rule, and the fact that he won the Race. Accordingly, a penalty of a fine of R3000 was imposed. c) Jockey R Khathi signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 55.4 in that he as the rider of BRAVE VOYAGER failed to weigh out at the carded weight resulting in a change of rider.
