THE START OF THIS RACE WAS DELAYED DUE TO MIA MOO (P STRYDOM) AND CHROME TOURMALINE (K MATSUNYANE) HAVING TO BE RESADDLED AT THE START. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) MIA MOO (P Strydom) was stubborn loading and thereafter was slow losing one length. b) During the loading process, MINOGUE (C Zackey) kicked the back gates on two occasions. c) As the start was effected, WHISTLE THE TUNE (C Habib) reared resulting in this filly losing two lengths. Trainer C Dawson was advised to reschool this this filly prior to her next engagement (GT). THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) WHISTLE THE TUNE (C Habib) became restless and reared as the start was effected.

It was established on reviewing the patrol films from the various angles that this incident was solely due to horse behaviour, that WHISTLE THE TUNE (C Habib) had suffered no impediment from a Handler, its front gate had opened on terms and as such was deemed to be a runner. b) At the 300m, KOMATI RIVER (A Fortune) was steadied when awkwardly placed on the heels of MINOGUE (C Zackey), which shifted out sharply. c) At approximately the 150m, ALMOND SEA (G Lerena), which had come to the end of its run, was steadied momentarily when awkwardly placed on the heels of MINOGUE (C Zackey), which hung out. d) In view of the performance of ALMOND SEA (G Lerena), (distance 4,80 lengths, betting 11/10), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. e) In view of the performance of KOMATI RIVER (A Fortune), (distance 12,20 lengths, betting 20/1), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. f) Jockey S Khumalo reported that he felt something amiss with TIME FO ORCHIDS in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this mare. g) MIA MOO (P Strydom), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S G Tarry advised (MduP).
