JACK TARR (L Goomany) lost one length and was squeezed at the start.

Stewards Reports 1.

At the 700m, Jockey A L Da Silva (KING OF COLTS) adjusted his right-side stirrup iron.

Thereafter, KING OF COLTS raced awkwardly in the straight and showed a tendency to lay in.

2.

Jockey D Schwarz appeared before the Stipendiary Stewards and was questioned regarding the visually poor performance of MASTER OF DISGUISE (Betting O/C: 220/185, Distance: 3.55).
In this regard, he explained that due to this gelding’s previous history of bleeding, he did not put MASTER OF DISGUISE under pressure in the early part of the race and instead allowed him to get comfortable in the running.

However, after jumping only fairly, he was only able to secure a position behind the speedy DUNZIE (I Taka) in the race.
Thereafter, he explained that MASTER OF DISGUISE had showed a tendency to hang in in the running, which placed him at a disadvantage whilst riding the horse and which resulted in him hitting the rail at the 400m.

He was also of the view that this horse was better when leading.

Trainer V Allet also appeared before the Stipendiary Stewards and was questioned regarding the performance of MASTER OF DISGUISE.
In this regard, the only further explanation he could provide was that today’s run could have been too close to its last, considering the horse’s history of bleeding.

However, as the horse was fit and well before the race, Trainer V Allet elected to race this gelding as it was his last chance for the season.

In view of the performance of MASTER OF DISGUISE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine.
