THE STARTER REPORTED: a) APOLLO ROBBINS (W Kennedy) was slow losing three lengths. Trainer F P Habib was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement (GT). THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Jockey S Khumalo the rider of DON'T LOOK BACK accidentally dropped his crop at the 400m. b) Jockey L Hewitson reported that he felt something amiss with CORNISH POMODORO running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Hewitson accidentally dropped his crop at the 250m. c) Leaving the 150m, APOLLO ROBBINS (W Kennedy) took an awkward stride. Thereafter shortly before the finish line, APOLLO ROBBINS was awkwardly placed between the heels of NIMCHA (G Lerena) and DON'T LOOK BACK (S Khumalo) which shifted in marginally. Jockey Khumalo (DON'T LOOK BACK) appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol films of the race and advised that although the Stewards were mindful that he dropped his crop at the 400m and had used his right hand to substitute the use of the crop, he is still obliged to ensure that he keeps his mounts on a straight course in future. d) SELL HIGH (P Strydom), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer D Sham advised (RS). e) DON'T LOOK BACK (S Khumalo), placed second, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S J Gray advised (AH). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) CORNISH POMODORO (merit rating and mass: both unchanged), winner 1 April 2021, Vaal Racecourse. b) NIMCHA - ownership: Hollywood Syndicate (Nom: Mr A Delpech) Yellow, purple stars, yellow cap, purple star (Sold with engagements). c) SELL HIGH Jockey P Strydom weighed out at 55,8kg, 0,5kg over the carded weight. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) CORNISH POMODORO left hind recurring cut to fetlock. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
