THE STARTER REPORTED: a) THREE BELLS (+G Dadamasi) was restless in the stalls. b) CITY LIGHTS (+V Sithetho) and BACARDI BABE (+D Mazule) were slow losing one length. Race 6 contd. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Approaching the 1300m, BRILLIANT COLOR (+C Mabaya), which pulled hard in the early stages was directed inwards into clear running away from the heels of other runners. b) Shortly before the finish line, PERFORM (+K Starbuck), which rolled out from the 200m, was steadied in anticipation of being awkwardly placed between CHICAGO LASS (+S Myendeki) and INCREDIBLE INDRANI (+T Matsoele). c) Work Rider T Matsoele was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (read with Guideline M on the use of the crop) in that he, as the rider of INCREDIBLE INDRANI, misused his crop by striking this filly more than twelve times (16) which was not warranted when considering the circumstances of the race. Work Rider T Matsoele signed an Admission of Guilt and is suspended from riding in four (4) Work Rider races. Suspension dates: To be advised. d) RED KNOT (+A Feni), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer A Ndzilana advised (MS).
