THE STARTER REPORTED:
a) EVAN ALMIGHTY (O Noach), TOMAHAWK BILL (M Winnaar) and BIG DEAL (L Mxothwa) jumped slow, losing one length.
b) HAPPY VERSE (A Fortune) jumped outwards.
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a) Shortly after the start PRINS JASPAR (C Orffer) was momentarily inconvenienced on the outside of HAPPY VERSE (A Fortune), which had jumped outwards leaving the stalls.
b) At the 500m BIG DEAL (L Mxothwa) had to be steadied when awkwardly placed on the inside of HAPPY VERSE (A Fortune), which raced green, was hanging in and shifted in when brushed on the hindquarters by BIG DEAL (L Mxothwa).
c) Leaving the 400m BIG DEAL (L Mxothwa) had to be checked when close to the heels of HAPPY VERSE (A Fortune), which continued to hang in and shifted in. Jockey A Fortune appeared before the Board and was advised that whilst the Stewards accepted that HAPPY VERSE proved a difficult ride on debut, he is still expected to make more of an effort to keep his mounts on a straight course in similar circumstances.
d) TOMAHAWK BILL (M Winnaar) raced green.
e) Jockey JP van der Merwe reported that DANIEL choked up in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt.
f) In view of the performance of MADRA RUA (IRE), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt.
g) An Inquiry will be held into Jockey A Fortune's (HAPPY VERSE) use of the crop.
h) HAPPY VERSE, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer SJ Snaith was advised. (TJ)
