Jockey Sturgeon did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed). He was replaced on his mounts. Apprentice Mjoka rode his twentieth winner at the Flamingo Park Racecourse on Monday 13 March 2017 and with effect from today, he only claims a 2,5kg allowance. STAFFAN lost two lengths. Jockey van der Merwe reported that TOBY COATES was coughing in running. DE NIMES shifted out sharply at the 800m for no apparent reason and thereafter shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. DE NIMES was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: TOBY COATES - coughing.
