KAIBOY was subject to a late Veterinary examination at the start and this gelding was passed fit to race. This caused a delay to the start of this race. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) A fair start. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED (DA ) : a) Leaving the starting stalls KAIBOY was brushed out by CHAPBOOK which was carried out by ANUSCHKA'S WORLD which jumped outwards. As a result, QUANTUM THEORY which was slow away, was squeezed out. b) KING OF THE GAULS raced wide around the turn. c) At the 500m QUANTUM THEORY was steadied when close to the heels of KAIBOY which rolled in away from KAALVOET. d) Approaching the 400m LION RAMPART was steadied to avoid running onto the heels of DAME OF TRIX. e) At the 150m DAME OF TRIX and in turn KAALVOET and CIRCUMBENDIBUS were carried out by LION RAMPART, which shifted out away from the crop. f) Leaving the 100m SYMPHONY IN WHITE was carried out by FORTRESS OF FIRE which shifted out away from the crop. Thereafter, shortly before the finish SYMPHONY IN WHITE was again carried out by FORTRESS OF FIRE, which shifted out away from the crop. g) In view of the performances of HIERARCHY (8.75 lengths and 25/1 in the betting) and KING OF THE GAULS (9.35 lengths and 33/1 in the betting), the Veterinarian was requested to examine. h) Jockey T Godden was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (Appendix E; Guideline M), in that as the rider of LION RAMPART, he misused his crop by striking this gelding more than ten times (11) in the race. Jockey Godden signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined R1 800. i) FORTRESS OF FIRE, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer M L Roberts was advised (DZ). THE VETERINARIAN REPORTED : a) HIERARCHY : Nothing obvious detected. b) KING OF THE GAULS : Nothing obvious detected. SCRATCHINGS : a) UMZINGELI WENYATHI : Reserve runner (24.07.2026/08h14). b) BLAZING FURY : Reserve runner (24.07.2026/08h14). DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: a) None.
