THE START OF THIS RACE WAS DELAYED DUE TO THE DELAY IN THE PREVIOUS RACE AS WELL AS THE LATE ARRIVAL OF RUN FOR COVER (P STRYDOM) AT THE START, WHICH WAS SUBJECT TO TCO2 TESTING. THE STARTER HAD NO REPORTS. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Shortly after the start, LUTHULI (J Gates), which was buffeted between STORMY WINTER (Wes Marwing) and WHISPERS OF WAR (AUS) (*T Mayhew), was steadied to avoid the heels of WHISPERS OF WAR (AUS) (*T Mayhew). b) Jockey G Lerena reported that he felt something amiss with NORDIC REBEL in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. c) DECEPTION PASS (M Yeni), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer A Azzie advised (MS). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: None. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) NORDIC REBEL not striding out left front. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None. Race 6 contd.
