AS THE START WAS EFFECTED, MONKEY'S WEDDING (K MATSUNYANE), IN STALL GATE 6, EXITED THE STARTING STALLS THROUGH THE BACK GATE, RESULTING IN A FALSE START BEING CALLED. THE RIDERS OF ALL THE HORSES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SAKETINI (M K KATJEDI) AND STONEYWOOD (C ZACKEY), WERE RESTRAINED BY THEIR RIDERS, RETURNED TO THE START, EXAMINED BY THE VETERINARY SURGEON, PASSED FIT TO RACE AND RELOADED. SAKETINI (M K KATJEDI) AND STONEYWOOD (C ZACKEY) BOLTED THE COURSE AND WERE SUBSEQUENTLY SCRATCHED. THIS CAUSED A DELAY TO THE START OF THIS RACE. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) TEMPRANILLO (G Lerena) kicked in the pens. b) SEED SEEKER (C Murray) was slow losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) MONKEY'S WEDDING (K Matsunyane) shifted both ways away from the crop from the 400m. b) Jockey C Murray reported that he felt something amiss with SEED SEEKER in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. c) TEMPRANILLO (G Lerena), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer J J van Vuuren advised (MS). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: None. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) SEED SEEKER abnormal respiratory noise; blowing post race; not striding out behind; fatigued. SCRATCHED: a) SAKETINI bolted the course (blowing) - immediate reinstatement (NHA / 12H45) Betting 66/1. b) STONEYWOOD bolted the course - immediate reinstatement (NHA / 12H45) Betting 14/1. Race 2 contd. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
