Apprentice Ngcobo rode his 20th winner on Saturday 27 February 2016 and effective 28 February 2016 will only claim a 2.5kg apprentice allowance. BOW 'N ARROW was slow, losing 1 length. EGOCENTRIC was slow, losing 2 lengths. GOLDONE failed to muster speed and gave ground to the field from the top of the straight and Apprentice M Thackeray did not persevere with his ride. Apprentice Thackeray appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol film of the race and reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out to the end of the race. Apprentice Murray reported that RED RIVER BLUE did not stride out freely in running and did not persevere with his ride in the closing stages. Jockey van Rensburg, the rider of CHILAPA LAPA, and Apprentice Ngcobo, the rider of EGOCENTRIC, reported that their respective mounts took no interest in running and did not persevere with their riding in the concluding stages. TRUE VALOUR was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Lensley was questioned regarding the improved performance of TRUE VALOUR. He explained to the Board that the distance of today's race accounted for the improved. Trainer Lensley was advised to race this gelding over similar distances in future. Vet: RED RIVER BLUE - not striding out both front. CHILAPA LAPA - not striding out left front. EGOCENTRIC - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: COSSACK PATROL - coughing. STARGATE - no transport.
