DOOR OF DECEPTION cast the left fore shoe on the way to the start, which the farrier replaced causing a slight delay. GULF STORM was restless in the stalls. In view of the performance from AFRICAN FISH EAGLE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the gelding and submit a report. Jockey Schlechter appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding his riding of CLASSY FIGHTER. He explained to the Board that in his opinion he felt that this gelding had shortened its stride in the latter stages and therefore had not ridden vigorously from the 200m. His explanation was noted. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the gelding and submit a report. Trainer Kannemeyer will be requested to report back to the Stewards on the gelding's condition on its return to the stables. GULF STORM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. AFRICAN FISH EAGLE raced fitted with a tongue tie. Vet: AFRICAN FISH EAGLE - returned not striding out behind. CLASSY FIGHTER - inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected.
