Rescheduled time: NIL Starting time: 14h52.05 Stewards’ Reports 1. MILLION DOLLAR MAN (B Sooful) was re-saddled behind the stalls. 2. Soon after the start, MILLION DOLLAR MAN (B Sooful) shifted in crowding the field on the inside, thereby impacting the running of FOOLS GOLD (J Allyhosain), MARSHALL FOCH (M P De Oliveira), TSITSIKAMMA DANCE (D Bheekary) and HUBBLE (K Ramasamy) whereby TSITSIKAMMA DANCE and HUBBLE were squeezed out. The Stewards reviewed the start and it was observed that FOOLS GOLD had jumped out awkwardly and that the inward movement of MILLION DOLLAR MAN was of a lesser degree which was corrected by Jockey B Sooful. Additionally, shortly after the start, there was slight outward movement of PROSPECTOR (R Joorawon) which further tightened HUBBLE and MARSHALL FOCH. However, the interference was due to cascading effect caused by the inward movement of MILLION DOLLAR MAN. 3. Subsequently, Jockey B Sooful signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 208 (d) of the Rules of Racing in that he failed to take every possible and all necessary steps to ensure that he or his horse did not cross, jostle, bunch, interfere with or intimidate another horse and as a consequence a penalty of suspension from riding in races for one Race Meeting was imposed on him. 4.
