THE STARTER REPORTED: a) SEEKING THE STARS (L Mxothwa) jumped awkwardly inwards, making contact with SPIRITUAL WIND (S Mbhele). THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Due to a technical fault between the two banks of stalls, a manual start had to be effected. During this first manual start, the inside bank of gates failed to open, resulting in the two horses loaded in the outside bank, BOWIE (M Yeni) and NORTHERN SONG (M Winnaar) cantering 100m and 150m respectively, before being pulled up, returned to the start, examined by the course veterinary surgeon, passed fit to race and reloaded. A second manual start was effected. b) Approaching the 1000m, in a tightly bunched field, BOWIE (M Yeni) was forced to ease when awkwardly placed on the inside of FAST LOVE (A Marcus). Jockey A Marcus reported that this gelding had grabbed the bit in the early stages, as a consequence had over raced, proved difficult to assist in the straight and Jockey Marcus did not persevere with his riding in the latter stages. c) SEEKING THE STARS, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer VH Marshall was advised. (BM) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) A Andrews rode VOYEUR (declared 15h35 on 20201120) b) FAST LOVE raced with a tongue tie (declared 17h13 on 20201117) c) NORTHERN SONG raced with blinkers (declared 17h13 on 20201120) d) BLINGKING raced with blinkers (declared 12h49 on 20201120) RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) Nil THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) FAST LOVE - nothing obvious detected b) BOWIE - cast right front shoe c) TARANTINO - scalped right hind d) VOYEUR - cast right hind shoe e) LA LUVIA - nasal discharge SCRATCHED: a) TIMES NEW ROMAN - reserve runner (declared 08h15 on 20201121) b) SOVEREIGN ROSE - reserve runner (declared 08h15 on 20201121)
