THAT COWBOY KID was restless in the stalls. DANGEROUS LIAISON jumped awkwardly, losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. In view of the performance from SHEPHERDS PURSE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the gelding and submit a report. Jockey Cheyne reported that THAT COWBOY KID choked up in running. SHEPHERDS PURSE was difficult to settle in the early stages. Jockey van Niekerk was charged with a contravention, read with Guideline C, Appendix L, in that he misused his crop by hitting CASTLE more than three times on consecutive strides in the concluding stages. Jockey van Niekerk signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined. CASTLE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: SHEPHERDS PURSE and THAT COWBOY KID - inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected. Scratched: COUNT MY LUCK - Urticaria.
