THE STARTER REPORTED: a) WORLDLY (*V Jodhee) was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At the 100m Apprentice N Yuen (DAME OF TRIX) had her crop accidentally struck from her grasp by Jockey R Fourie (DEMANDING DAVE). In the latter stages DEMANDING DAVE (R Fourie), which initially shifted out and was straightened, then shifted inwards away from the crop and bumped DAME OF TRIX approximately four strides before the winning post. The Stewards called for a race review which was followed by Trainer J Crawford lodging an objection on behalf of the 2nd- placed horse DAME OF TRIX (*N Yuen) against the 1st-placed DEMANDING DAVE (R Fourie) on the grounds of interference in the latter stages. The Objection Board, after considering the evidence, reviewing the patrol films and giving consideration to the margin of 0,05 of a length between the two horses concerned, was satisfied that but for the interference DAME OF TRIX (*N Yuen) would have finished ahead of DEMANDING DAVE (R Fourie) had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the Objection and amended the result. b) DEMANDING DAVE, placed 2nd on an objection, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer JMT Stewart was advised. (SC) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) MARKETA raced with a tongue tie (declared 06h51 on 20251004) b) C Orffer rode RATTLESNAKE (declared 16h04 on 20251005) (Jockey A Domeyer stood down by the Medical Officer. Rule 25.12 applied) RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER a) Nil THE VETERINARY SURGEON HAD NO REPORTS THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS
