The start of this Race was delayed due to the delay in the previous race, as well as RAMPAGE pulling its right front shoe en route to the start, which was attended to by the farrier. CRANK IT UP jumped inwards. CURIOUS, EL ROMIACHI and KINTALA were slow, losing 1 length. RAMPAGE jumped outwards. RAMPAGE was hanging out from the 400m. OPENING GAMBIT was hanging out from the 300m. Jockey Khumalo reported that he felt something amiss with CURIOUS in running and he did not persevere with his ride from the 300m. Apprentice Matsunyane reported that KALENGWA took awkward strides throughout. In view of the Veterinary Surgeon's report concerning KALENGWA, this gelding is suspended from racing in any race under the jurisdiction of the National Horseracing Authority for an indefinite period. A veterinary certificate for KALENGWA must be submitted to the Veterinary Department of the NHA, before it can be entered for a race. KALENGWA is also required to gallop for the NHA veterinary department after which, if found fit to race, will be sent for specimen collection for analysis. OPENING GAMBIT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. OPENING GAMBIT and RAMPAGE raced without a tongue tie. Vet: CURIOUS - not striding out right hind. KALENGWA - lame right front. MR TURBULENCE - coughing.
