DURING THE LOADING PROCESS NIMCHA KICKED THE BACK GATES RESULTING IN HELLOFARIDE, JOHNNY HERO AND NIMCHA BREAKING THROUGH THE FRONT GATES. THESE HORSES WERE RESTRAINED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE RIDERS, RETURNED TO THE START, INSPECTED BY THE COURSE VETERINARY SURGEON, PASSED FIT TO RACE AND RELOADED. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED A DELAY TO THE START OF THIS RACE. NIMCHA (G Lerena) kicked the back gates resulting in HELLOFARIDE (C Murray), JOHNNY HERO (*K Matsunyane) and NIMCHA (G Lerena) breaking through the front gates. These horses were inspected by the Course Veterinary Surgeon, passed fit to race and reloaded. JOHNNY HERO (*K Matsunyane) and WONDEROUS CLIMBER(L Hewitson) were slow losing 1 length. In the concluding stages JOHNNY HERO (*K Matsunyane) shifted in away from the crop. Thereafter shortly before the finish line, JOHNNY HERO was carried in by CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (M Yeni) which shifted in away from the crop. CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (M Yeni), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S J Gray advised. WONDEROUS CLIMBER raced equipped with blinkers (declared 23 June 2020 at 07H50). SCRATCHED: AMERICAN INDIAN off feed (Trainer) (Rule 53.5 applies). FINCHATTON off feed.
