THE START OF THIS RACE WAS DELAYED DUE TO HOTARUBI (P STRYDOM) BEING SUBJECT TO A LATE VETERINARY EXAMINATION AT THE START. THEREAFTER, DURING THE LOADING PROCESS, CALANTHA (R MUNGER) CAST ITS LEFT FRONT SHOE WHICH WAS ATTENDED TO BY THE COURSE FARRIER. THE COURSE FARRIER WAS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE LEFT FRONT SHOE. AS A RESULT, IN CONSULTATION WITH TRAINER M DE KOCK, HE REMOVED THE RIGHT FRONT SHOE AND CALANTHA RACED UNSHOD IN FRONT. THIS CAUSED A FURTHER DELAY TO THE START OF THIS RACE. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) PURPLENINJATURTLE (R A Venniker) was slow losing three lengths. b) THE AFRICA HOUSE (G Lerena) was slow losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) HOTARUBI (P Strydom), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S G Tarry advised (MduP). JOCKEY CHANGES: None.
