Jockey Zechner did not ride at today's racemeeting (riding in Cape Town - to be investigated). He was replaced on his mount in Race 3. PLUM BRITISH bolted the course, dislodged Apprentice Hewitson and was subsequently withdrawn by the Course Veterinary Surgeon causing a delay to the start of this race. PLUM BRITISH has been suspended until such time as he proves tractable cantering to the start on a race day. TORRE DEL ORO was slow losing two lengths. SHORT AND SWEET and GOLDEN BABE were slow into stride. CHILI LIME was hanging in from the 300m. When questioned regarding his riding of TORRE DEL ORO, Jockey Khumalo explained to the Board that this colt had been slow away and had to be encouraged from the start to keep touch with the field. Thereafter this horse had raced green and was reluctant to pass other horses and kept trying to run in and get cover behind the horses in front of him. Mr Khumalo was advised to ride his horse with sufficient vigour and determination so as to leave no room for query from the Stewards. EBONY KNIGHT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: KING OF CANT - not striding out left front. DARK DIAMOND - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: CHOSEN AL - lame right front, COLOSSEUM - pulled muscle left hind. PLUM BRITISH - bolted the course.
