Shortly after entering the back straight ZEUS (G van Niekerk) raced wide around the field and took up a leading position. c) Following the race, the Stewards received an official written complaint from the connections of ZEUS and will enquire into the circumstances of the race and if there has been a possible contravention of Rule 62.2.9 (pertaining to a rider taking all reasonable measures to ensure that he rides to the instructions given to him by the authorised persons). d) ARAGOSTA (S Moodley) was hanging in from the 300m. e) In the concluding stages SHOOT THE RAPIDS (M Yeni) was brushed in by FUTURE SWING (S Khumalo) which was hanging in from the 200m. f) In view of the performances of FUTURE PEARL (R Fourie) (4.05 lengths, 18/10 in the betting) and MASTER FUEGO (C Zackey) (18.70 lengths, 25/2 in the betting), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. g) Jockey C Orffer signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (Appendix E; Guideline M), in that he as the rider of MASTER REDOUTE misused his crop by striking this gelding more than twelve times (14) which was not warranted when considering the circumstances of the race.
