THE STARTER REPORTED: a) NIGHT RULER (JP van der Merwe), GAINSFORD (B Fayd'Herbe) and BLACKBERRY MALT (R Danielson) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) After leaving the parade ring correctly shod, ROYAL WATCH (L Mxothwa) lifted its right front shoe on the way to the start which had to be re-fitted, causing a delay. b) Approaching the 250m RAPIDASH (G van Niekerk) rolled in and carried POMODORO'S JET (C Zackey) inwards. Thereafter, RAPIDASH (G van Niekerk) continued to shift inwards and continually carried POMODORO'S JET (C Zackey) inwards until the finish. As a consequence, CARRIACOU (R Fourie) had to be steadied when close to the heels of POMODORO'S JET (C Zackey) at the 200m. A race review was called by a Stipendiary Steward, which was followed by him lodging an objection on behalf of the 2nd placed horse POMODORO'S JET (C Zackey) against the winner RAPIDASH (G van Niekerk) on the grounds of interference and intimidation from the 250m. The Objection Board, after considering the evidence put forward, reviewing the patrol film and having regard to the margin of 0,05 of a length between the two horses concerned, was of the opinion that but for the interference POMODORO'S JET would have finished ahead of RAPIDASH had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the Objection. An Inquiry will be held into this incident. c) RAPIDASH, placed second on an objection, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer SJ Snaith was advised. (SC) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) MY BESTIE raced with blinkers (declared 05h37 on 20231210) b) WICCAN WARRIOR raced without blinkers (declared 08h28 on 20231210) c) G van Niekerk (RAPIDASH) rode +0.5kg (54.4kgs) RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER a) Nil THE VETERINARY SURGEON HAD NO REPORTS THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS
