The start of this Race was delayed due to a technical fault with the starting stalls. GIMME THE LIGHT reared in the stalls as the start was effected and dislodged the rider. BLACK BELT jumped awkwardly inwards with its head up losing two lengths and thereafter was slow into stride. MOON ROCK was restless in the stalls. The start was reviewed regarding GIMME THE LIGHT in stall gate 7 and after reviewing the patrol films the Board was of the opinion that as the gelding had reared shortly before the start was effected and dislodged the rider GIMME THE LIGHT was therefore declared to be a non-runner. In view of the Starter's report concerning GIMME THE LIGHT, Trainer Crawford will be advised that this gelding's starting stall certificate has been withdrawn. WHITE RIVER and ZAP brushed approaching the 150m. Jockey Orffer reported that his saddle slipped back in running and he was unable to fully assist WHITE RIVER. APOLLO STAR and BENFONTEIN were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: STARBOY - returned cut on the left hind hip. Scratched: GIMME THE LIGHT - declared to be a non-runner.
