AFSAN DREAM (J Samuel), FIGHT SONG (W Kennedy), JUST PERFECT (S Randolph) and GAINSFORD (A Marcus) lost 1 length, respectively. Jockey A Marcus signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2, read in conjunction with Guideline M, in that he struck the horse GAINSFORD more than 12 times in the entire race. In deciding what action to take against Jockey A Marcus, the Board considered the number of times (13) Jockey Marcus struck the horse GAINSFORD, the distance over which and manner in which Jockey A Marcus used his crop and his record in relation to this Rule. Accordingly, a penalty of a R1000 was imposed. APACHE FREE (N Patel) failed to negotiate the latter part of the turn and raced wide into the straight. Shortly after the start, FIGHT SONG (W Kennedy) had to ease when awkwardly placed on the heels of APACHE FREE (N Patel). At the 1200m, WINTER GUARD (K de Melo) was cramped for galloping room and had to ease when awkwardly placed between AFSAN DREAM (J Samuel) and STAR CRUSADE (A Mgudlwa). LOST MONARCH (*J Gates) raced wide around the turn. Jockey A Marcus the rider of GAINSFORD briefly dropped his right side rein at the 400m. FIGHT SONG (W Kennedy) the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Gareth van Zyl advised (TN). Jockey N Patel was the rider of APACHE FREE (reserve runner - advised 10h00/14.07.2020). STAR CRUSADE raced without ear-muffs (advised 10h17/14.07.2020). VET : AFSAN DREAM : Returned post-race having cast the right front shoe. APACHE FREE : Lame right fore. SCRATCHINGS : THE GHAN : Elevated temperature (advised 09h54/14.07.2020). Rule 53.5 applies. SEVENTH SONG : Reserve runner. TINKER TAILOR : Reserve runner.
