THE STARTER REPORTED: a) UNDER THE RAINBOW (+S Dwayana) fly-jumped leaving the stalls. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) CAPTAIN JIM (+T Ncume) shifted out away from the crop from the 200m. b) Notwithstanding the fact that he won the race, Work Rider P Mongqawa (CAPTAIN EFFICIENT) appeared before the Board and was advised to ride with sufficient vigour and determination so as to leave no room for query from the Stewards. c) CAPTAIN EFFICIENT, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer FP Habib was advised.

Permission was granted by the Stewards for this change after the 10h00 equipment change deadline on the day preceding the race meeting, as, following numerous unsuccessful attempts, the Farrier could not fit alumites to this colt due to its fractious nature. In the interests of horse welfare, the potential effects to stake holders and the connections of the horse in question and after considering the open and forthright manner in which the Stewards were notified and kept abreast of the situation, a decision was made to permit the change. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) PURSUIT OF FAME - scalp wound right hind b) BRIGHTEST BLAZE - speedy cut right hind c) SILVER SEVEN - coughing SCRATCHED: a) KING OF NUMBERS - ineligible; winner 03/08/2024 (declared 20240805) b) SCARLET - urticaria.
