SPECIAL ANNOUNCE was restless in the stalls. The Starting Stall Certificate for this gelding has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. KING OF CLOTH jumped inwards leaving the stalls. RICH BID jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls and lost one length. Jockey van der Merwe was charged with a contravention in that he failed to report to the Clerk of Scales at least 60 minutes before the official starting time of Race 1, in which he was engaged to ride RICH BID. Jockey van der Merwe signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined. RAFA and RICH BID were hanging in from the 400m. SILVER STATE was hanging in, in the closing stages. FORMAL REQUEST raced green. SPECIAL ANNOUNCE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. An Inquiry will be opened into comments made by Jockey Strydom during the post race interview on Tellytrack. Scratched: VICTOR'S FOLLY - under 12 days suspension.
