THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) ADMIRAL'S RANSOM (O Noach) raced awkwardly with his head turned inwards in the early stages. b) Leaving the 200m NAVY STRENGTH (G van Niekerk), which raced green, shifted in away from the crop and had to be straightened to avoid the heels of GLOBAL ALLY (L Mxothwa) which rolled out. c) Jockey K Steyn was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (read with Guideline M on the use of the crop) in that he misused his crop by striking OVER TWO YOU more than 12 times in the entire race. Jockey K Steyn signed an admission of guilt and was fined R1000,00. In determining penalty, the Board took into account Jockey Steyn's recent record in relation to this Rule, the distance over and manner in which Jockey Steyn used his crop and the number of strikes (14) over the permissible level. d) SKY GOD, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer C Bass-Robinson was advised. (CvA) e) GLOBAL ALLY, the second-placed horse, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer B Crawford was advised.
