Steward Comment

Stewards accepted the explanation for the late declaration of M. Du Plessis. Overraced in the early stages. Jockey M. Du Plessis was reprimanded for using his whip more than 5 times prior to the 100m. In assessing penalty, stewards took into account his record regarding breaches of this rule.
