THE STARTER REPORTED: a) AUTUMN RUSH (*S Bungane) and GQEBERHA (G Wright) jumped slow, losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) For a short distance leaving the 400m, AUTUMN RUSH (*S Bungane) raced in restricted galloping room on the inside of REDLIGHT LANE (M Yeni). b) BLUE DAME (R Fourie) raced green. c) When questioned regarding the performance of FANTINE, Jockey C Zackey told the Stewards that after being unable to get cover in the early stages, the filly had not responded to his urgings from the 400m, had given ground to the field and, in his opinion, this was a disappointing performance. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. d) MALIBU BLITZ, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer AE Sands was advised. (TJ) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) GATHERING WINTER raced with blinkers. (declared 07h32 on 20251223) RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) Nil.
