This specimen was of an acceptable TCO2 level. b) DOUBLE TRADE (+H Tsewu) jumped awkwardly and took an awkward stride shortly after the start. c) Leaving the 300m,the right-side stirrup leather on the saddle of SERENDIPITOUS broke, which resulted in Work Rider E Thuthu becoming unbalanced and being unable to assist his mount to the finish. d) Leaving the 250m, Work Rider S Watson (MISS PRIOR), under the impression that he was sufficiently clear of the balance of the field to win this race, stopped riding his mount vigorously from approximately the 200m. However, he noted that the runners on his inside were making up ground and he then attempted to ride his mount vigorously from the 50m to the finish.

Work Rider S Watson signed an Admission of Guilt and is suspended from riding in three (3) Work Rider races.
