THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Shortly after the start, KIA KAHA (G Lerena) and BILINGUAL (J Gates) were carried in by GOLDEN ARGO (M van Rensburg), which jumped inwards sharply leaving the stalls. b) At approximately the 150m, GOLDEN ARGO (M van Rensburg) was steadied when awkwardly placed on the heels of AUTUMN VAR (P Mxoli), which hung out from 300m. The Board, after reviewing this incident, were satisfied that Jockey P Mxoli (AUTUMN VAR) had attempted to straighten this filly on a number of occasions, and it was only when he attempted to change his crop over into his left hand that this filly shifted out.
