ASHOKA and TORRE DEL ORO were stubborn loading. Trainer Anderson and Trainer Tarry were advised to re-school their respective horses prior to their next engagement. JUST AN AFFAIR was restless in the stalls. DAMASCUS STEEL was slow into stride. From the 350m JACKMAN was carried out by BARBARELLA NIGHTS, which was hanging out badly. Workrider Mthembu, the rider of BARBARELLA NIGHTS, appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol films of the race and advised to make more of an effort to keep his mounts on a straight course during a race. The crop used by Workrider Lukhele broke at the 200m. TORRE DEL ORO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Workrider Lukhele replaced Workrider Ndlovu on JUST AN AFFAIR. An Admission of Guilt was issued to Workrider Ndlovu for a contravention in that he failed to weigh out at the correct carded weight on the horse JUST AN AFFAIR, or at the higher weight confirmed in his engagement with the Trainer. Vet: KINGS LANDING - lame right front. LOVER'S LEGACY - abnormal respiratory noise. DAMASCUS STEEL - blowing heavily post race.
