CRYSTAL ROCK jumped awkwardly outwards was slow away, lost 2 lengths and unbalanced Apprentice Mphanya leaving the stalls. WESTERN OFFICER shifted inwards, bumped and carried ROMANO inwards, which resulted in ME-HORSE and CEZAR RITZ becoming cramped for galloping room and ROMANO having to ease off the heels of WESTERN OFFICER passing the 1200 metre mark. Jockey Thackeray signed an Admission of Guilt for a contravention in that he failed to ensure he did not cause interference to horses on his inside at the 1200 metre mark whilst riding WESTERN OFFICER. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of 7 days. VARZEN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: BIG THREE - left front dermatitis between fetlock and coronet. ME-HORSE - abnormal respiratory noise. STAVROS CHRISTOS - not striding out.
