EVOLVER threw its head up at the off, was slow away and lost 2 lengths. CELESTIAL PRINCE was slow into stride. Jockey X Ndlovu signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (read with Guideline C on the use of the crop) in that he struck the horse MERYL more than three times on consecutive strides. A penalty of a R750 fine was imposed. Jockey K Steyn signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (read with Guideline M on the use of the crop) in that he struck the horse FRIKKIE more than 12 times in the entire race (sixteen (16) times). A penalty of a R750 fine was imposed. At approximately the 400m, INDY ICE (W Agrella) which had come to the end of its run, had to steady momentarily when awkwardly placed between MERYL (X Ndlovu) and EVOLVER (S Naidoo). The winner AFRICA'S GOLD was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis, Trainer C Greeff advised (LM). The second placed horse MERYL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis, Trainer A C Greeff advised (LM). VET: OMAHA TRIBE speedy cut left fore.
