b) WEDDING BELLS (D Ashby) was slow into stride.

b) BLIND FAITH (C Bantam) pulled hard in the early and middle stages.

d) In view of the report from the Starter regarding GIRL ABOUT TOWN (K Steyn), this filly's starting stall certificate has been withdrawn and she is suspended for 7 days in terms of Rule 61.6.10 and until such time as she proves to be tractable to load with a companion. (Suspension dates: 24/08/2024 to 30/08/2024 inclusive). GIRL ABOUT TOWN may not be presented for re-passing during this period.
e) Jockey J Solomons (STATE CAPITOL) appeared before the Board as he had ceased with his riding and eased his mount down leaving the 100m. Jockey J Solomons was advised that, while the Stewards accepted that STATE CAPITOL was winning readily, he still has an obligation to ride his mounts, at least hands and heels, to the finish.
