Prior to leaving the parade ring Jockey K de Melo raised concerns about ROLLO THE VIKING, which was examined by the Veterinary Surgeon and was subsequently withdrawn. Upon arrival at the start AMOR FATI was subject to a late Veterinary examination and was subsequently withdrawn. These incidents led to a delay to the start of this race. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) THE SHEPHERD was stubborn to load. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED (SR) : a) Entering the turn KANAAL SKATER was carried out by NOBLE CITY which in turn was carried out by DIANI, which rolled out. b) Leaving the 200m MR HOTSTEPPER, which had come to the end of its run and commenced to hang out, was steadied away from the heels of THE SHEPHERD, which was brushed in by QUEUE WING, which shifted in and was immediately corrected. c) In the concluding stages TYRCONNELL was carried out by SUNDANCE KID, which shifted out away from the crop and was straightened. d) Apprentice D D Louw reported that SUNDANCE KID did not stride out freely in the running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. e) Jockey S Veale was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2, (Appendix E; Guideline M), in that as the rider of TYRCONNELL, he misused his crop by striking this gelding more than ten times (11) in the entire race. Jockey S Veale signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined R1800. f) TYRCONNELL, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer M F De Kock was advised (SP).
