THE STARTER REPORTED: a) FIGHT SONG (D De Gouveia) was slow into stride. b) DAWN OF A NEW ERA (R Danielson) and OPENING GAMBIT (*C F Dicken) were slow losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At approximately the 1400m, STORMY WINTER (*X Jacobs) bumped the inside running rail, which resulted in the rail bouncing back onto MAJOR WINTER (C Maujean). As a consequence of this, MAJOR WINTER (C Maujean) became severely unbalanced, dislodging Jockey C Maujean. Thereafter, MAJOR WINTER (C Maujean) stumbled and fell. b) STORMY WINTER (*X Jacobs), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer D Nieuwenhuizen advised (GF). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) OPENING GAMBIT raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind (declared 17 June 2021 at 13H22). b) WYLIE THE GREAT raced equipped with blinkers (declared 18 June 2021 at 10H06). THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) DUAL AT DAWN abnormal respiratory noise. b) FIGHT SONG coughing post race. c) OPENING GAMBIT scalp wound left hind. d) MAJOR WINTER mouth injury (loose tooth).
