THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Shortly after the start GLOBAL SPEAK (S Veale) and HAWAII TRACTOR (C Little) had to be checked when tightened for galloping room between MOMENT OF TRUTH (M Winnaar), which was carried in marginally by AFRIQUE (G Lerena) and DRICUS (C Orffer), which shifted out away from ARIOVISTUS (C Zackey), which after taking an awkward stride leaving the stalls, made contact with JET A ONE (J Solomons) and then shifted outwards. After reviewing this incident, the Stewards were of the opinion that no individual Rider could be held accountable for this incident. b) TOWNSMAN (*S Bungane) raced very wide on the turn and into the straight. c) MONKEY PUZZLE (K Matsunyane) returned with a bilateral epistaxis due to an exercise induced pulmonary haemorrhage and is suspended for a period of 60 days from racing in any race under the jurisdiction of The National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa in terms of Rule 93.1.
