THE STARTER REPORTED: a) Fair start. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) TWICE GOLDEN (*S Njokwe) and ELECTRIC SURGE (S Moodley) over-raced in the early and middle stages. b) Shortly before the finish, KING'S COVE (M Yeni) had to ease when awkwardly placed on the outside of DECORATED (M V'Rensburg) which shifted out away from the crop. c) Jockey S Khumalo signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2, read in conjunction with Guideline M, in that he misused his crop by striking the horse PUERTO MANZANO (ARG) more than 12 times in the entire race. In assessing penalty, the Board considered the number of times (14) Jockey S Khumalo struck the horse PUERTO MANZANO (ARG), the distance over which and manner in which he used his crop and his record (1) in relation to this Rule. Accordingly, a penalty of a fine of R1000 was imposed. d) DECORATED (M V'Rensburg), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer F Robinson advised (DZ). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) PUERTO MANZANO (ARG) raced without blinkers (advised 15.12.21/8h35). b) DECORATED raced without blinkers (advised 16.12.21/01h40). Jockey M V'Rensburg weighed out at 53.4kg, 0.5kg over the carded weight of 52.5kg. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) Nil. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) PUERTO MANZANO (ARG) : Not striding out right hind. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS.
