Jockey Mansour and Jockey Yeo did not ride at today's race meeting due to being medically disposed. They were replaced on their mounts. SAKURA refused to canter to the start, had to be led by a handler and subsequently was stubborn loading. PRINCE JORDAN proved difficult to load. These incidents caused a delay to the start of this Race. The starting stalls certificate for PRINCE JORDAN has been withdrawn. LUCKY DEAL and TWICE THE MAN were slow into stride. In view of the Starter's report with regard to PRINCE JORDAN, this gelding was suspended for a period of 7 days and until such time as it proves tractable loading into the starting stalls with a companion. PRINCE JORDAN may not be presented for repassing during this period. SAKURA refused to canter to the start and had to be led by a handler. Trainer Janse van Vuuren will be advised that should SAKURA behave in a similar manner in future, it may be suspended. Jockey Wrogemann reported that he felt something amiss with GYPSY'S ANSWER in running. IMPERIAL QUEST shifted both ways away from the crop from the 200m. LUCKY DEAL and COLOMBINA were hanging in from the 200m. SIRTAIN (AUS) shifted in away from the crop in the concluding stages and was straightened shortly before the finish line. WILD CURVE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ALPHAMIKEFOXTROT raced equipped with alumite shoes in front, unshod behind. SIRTAIN is a gelding. COLOMBINA raced without a tongue tie. Vet: GYPSY'S ANSWER - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: MARDI GRAS - cast in box.
