THE STARTER HAD NO REPORTS. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels, and no retests were recorded. b) Approaching the 900m, DANTONFROMSANDTON and CHROME TOURMALINE were carried out by THE LAST DUKE, which shifted out when commencing to over-race. Shortly, thereafter, DANTONFROMSANDTON and CHROME TOURMALINE came together and bumped when carried out by THE LAST DUKE, which shifted out when continuing to over-race. Thereafter, THE LAST DUKE hung in badly from 300m, proving difficult to assist, which resulted in Jockey P Mxoli being unable to fully assist the gelding out to the end of the race. In view of this report, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. Taking into consideration the gelding's behaviour in this race, Trainer P F Matchett was advised to take the necessary corrective measures to improve this gelding's racing manners. c) At approximately the 300m, MAX THE MAGICIAN was steadied momentarily when tightened for galloping room between KARATE KID and SEASON'S GREETINGS, which rolled in. d) KARATE KID, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer P F Matchett was advised (MduP). JOCKEY CHANGES: a) ECHO CHECK was ridden by Jockey J R Syster (declared 9 May 2026 at 09H41). b) ZALATORIS was ridden by Jockey K Strydom (declared 10 May 2026 at 08H07). c) SEASON'S GREETINGS: Jockey M Yeni weighed out at 50,6kg, 0,5kg over the carded weight as declared. d) POINTER: Apprentice J Botes weighed out at 48,9kg, only claiming 1,5kg of his 2,5kg apprentice allowance. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) THE LAST DUKE examined post-race, nothing obvious detected. Race 10 contd. SCRATCHED: a) STORM BRASCO right hind muscle strain (Trainer) (Rule 53.5 applies). DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
