TT Y

LIBERAL SALLY and NOT A WORD were slow into stride. BLACK CASHMERE and ESPERANZA FIRE lost one length. SKYFIRE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. NOT A WORD over-raced in the early stages. MAD PUSHPA was hanging in throughout, and was not persevered with over the final 200 metres. In view of this, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this mare. SKYFIRE shifted in towards NOT A WORD and accidentally struck the crop from Jockey Ntuli's hand at approximately the 50 metre mark. A race review was called by a Stipendiary Steward with regard to the above incident which was followed by an objection lodged by Jockey Ntuli, the rider of NOT A WORD, placed second, against the winner, SKYFIRE on the grounds of interference in the latter stages. After viewing the patrol video from the various angles and considering the distance between these two horses, the Board could not conclusively determine that NOT A WORD would have beaten SKYFIRE and therefore over-ruled the Objection and allowed the Judge's result to stand. The deposit was refunded. SKYFIRE raced without cheek pieces. NOT A WORD raced with alumites in front and steel shoes behind. Vet: MAD PUSHPA - nothing obvious detected.
