THE STARTER REPORTED:
a) GAVEL STRIKE (C Habib) and MAGICAL MIDLANDS (L Hewitson) lost 1 length, respectively.
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED :
a) At the 250m, LORD OF THE MANOR (A Arries) which had come to the end of its run, had to ease when awkwardly placed between MAGICAL MIDLANDS (L Hewitson), and HEY BILL (S Moodley) which was carried out by TROMSO (T Godden) which rolled out marginally. Shortly thereafter, MAGICAL MIDLANDS (L Hewitson) shifted in to continue its run.
b) Jockey L Ferraris (CAPTAIN WHO) reported that his saddle slipped back in running. This was confirmed by a Stipendiary Steward.
c) Jockey S Moodley reported that HEY BILL (3.80 lengths) took no interest in the running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine.
d) In view of the performance of FREEDOM'S FIRE (W Kennedy) (8.35 lengths, 10/1 in the betting) the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine.
e) Jockey C Habib appeared before the Board and was questioned with regard to his ride on GAVEL STRIKE in the straight. In this regard, his attention was specifically drawn to his decision to make his run on the outside of the course rather than continue riding his horse on the inside of CAPTAIN WHO (L Ferraris) where there was sufficient galloping room to do so. Jockey Habib explained that coming off the turn which pushes the horses out, he had initially intended to take the run on the outside of CAPTAIN WHO (L Ferraris) and on the inside of COUNT MARSH (R Fourie). However, as GAVEL STRIKE raced up to those horses, he anticipated that the run may close and therefore elected to continue his outward motion in order to obtain a clear run on his outside rather than risk breaking the momentum of his horse directing it in. The Board noted the explanation of Jockey C Habib which was corroborated by the patrol films of the race.
f) PSYCHO KING (K de Melo), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer C Dawson advised (SC).
JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES :
a) PSYCHO KING was ridden by Jockey K de Melo (advised 24.03.21/08h59).
b) LOVE THE VIEW raced with a compression mask.
c) CAPTAIN WHO raced equipped with blinkers (advised 24.03.21/08h20).
RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER :
a) Nil.
THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED :
a) LORD OF THE MANOR : Coughing.
b) HEY BILL : Nothing obvious detected.
c) FREEDOM'S FIRE : Nothing obvious detected.
