The start of this Race was delayed due to the runners for race 8 being held in the parade ring until the Queens Plate was run. There were numerous delays in Cape Town which included pulled shoes and a bridal which had to be replaced. This delayed the Queens Plate and consequently race 8 at Turffontein. CERTIFIABLE jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls. BRIDGE OF SPIES was stubborn loading. Trainer Binda was advised to re-school this gelding prior to his next engagement. Jockey Danielson, the rider of AFRICAN ROCK, and Jockey Kennedy, the rider of BOLD RANSOM, reported that they felt something amiss with their respective mounts in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. Assistant Trainer Peter was requested to report back to the Stipendiary Board on the condition of BOLD RANSOM on return to stables. Jockey Penny reported that BITTER LEMON took no interest in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. In the concluding stages, SMOKE which hung in, had to steady off the heels of GEMCUTTER, which rolled out marginally. CERTIFIABLE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. WINTER TWILIGHT and BITTER LEMON raced unshod. BRIDGE OF SPIES raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind. Vet: AFRICAN ROCK, BOLD RANSOM and BITTER LEMON - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. SMOKE - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: FRIEND OF TIME - cast in box.
