THE STARTER REPORTED: a) A fair start. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) ESQUEVELLE (R Fourie) stumbled shortly after the start. b) Jockey N Patel (MASK ON) appeared before the Board with regard to his riding in this race. He explained that this gelding tends to run its best races when placed towards the back of the field and thereafter to be allowed to gradually build its finishing effort in the closing stages of races. He stated that after having placed this horse at the back of this six horse field, MASK ON began to lose ground, resulting in him racing further back than intended. After having built up his ride from the 350m MASK ON ran on strongly in the concluding stages. Jockey N Patel's explanation was confirmed by the video evidence and was accepted by the Board. The Board however advised Jockey Patel that should he ride horses in a manner that differs from the norm, he is to advise the Stewards prior to the running of the race. c) HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE (R A Venniker), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer A Wright advised (NS). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) Nil. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) Nil. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) MASK ON : Nothing obvious detected. SCRATCHINGS : a) RHYTHM : African Horse Sickness vaccine discrepancy (NHA/11h55). Vaccination discrepancy to be investigated . DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: a) None.
