TOM BOMBADIL (*K Sakayi) lost 2 lengths. INDY GO (G Lerena) was baulked for a clear run between the 400m and the 150m. Thereafter, this gelding switched in to continue its run. At the 350m, SAMSONITE (M Yeni) had to ease when awkwardly placed between MASTER MAGIC (A Marcus) which rolled out and THE BAYOU (K de Melo) which rolled in. Thereafter, this gelding was disappointed for a clear run between the 300m and the 200m. Jockey G van Niekerk signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2, read in conjunction with Guideline C, in that he struck the horse CHRISTOPHER ROBIN more than 3 times on consecutive strides in the concluding stages. A penalty of R1500 was imposed. An Investigation will be opened into why NIMCHA (C Zackey) proceeded to the start correctly equipped but raced incorrectly equipped. CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (G van Niekerk) the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S J Gray advised (DA).
