DURING THE LOADING PROCESS, CAPTIVE MOON BECAME RESTLESS, BROKE THROUGH THE FRONT GATES, DISLODGED JOCKEY M VAN RENSBURG, BOLTED THE COURSE AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY SCRATCHED. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED A DELAY TO THE START OF THIS RACE. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) During the loading process, CAPTIVE MOON broke through the front starting stall gates and bolted. Trainer G Macleod was advised to reschool this gelding prior to his next engagement (AH). THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) During the loading process, CAPTIVE MOON became momentarily trapped after its hind leg was caught in the rear of the starting stalls. As a result, this gelding became restless, broke through the front starting stall gates, dislodged Jockey M van Rensburg, and bolted. The gelding was subsequently taken in hand, examined by the Veterinarian, and scratched. b) THE OCTAGON hung in throughout. Thereafter, Jockey P Mxoli reported that he felt something amiss with this gelding in running. The Veterinarian was requested to examine. c) PRAGMATIST, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer D Swanson was advised (JM). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. THE VETERINARIAN REPORTED: a) THE OCTAGON abnormal respiratory noise. SCRATCHED: a) CAPTIVE MOON bolted - immediate reinstatement (NHA). DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
