Workrider Dadamasi did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed - injured). He was replaced on his mount in Race 1. Jockey Brown did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed - injured finger). He was replaced on his mounts. Confirmed by the Course Medical Doctor. Jockey Fortune did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed - injured back). He was replaced on his mounts. Awaiting documentation. SUPER SONIC (AUS) was stubborn and slow into stride. GAME PLAN was slow into stride. OSCAR JOHN and DRIVING RAIN jumped awkwardly. Workrider Matsoele, the rider of FEATHERFLIGHT, appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol film of the race and advised against the practice of hitting a horse with a crop above shoulder height. KINGS LANDING proved difficult to proceed to the start. Trainer Erasmus was advised that should this gelding behave in a similar manner in future, it may be suspended. SHAH'S STORM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MIDNIGHT MELLOW raced without a tongue tie on. Vet: SHAH'S STORM - coughing.
