Fairview Race Meeting 30th April 2004
Race No 374, Maiden Juvenile Plate over 1000 metres.
Following the questioning of Trainer Jacques Strydom and Jockey G Venter regarding the
running and riding of CRIMSON RADO in this race, the Stipendiary Board referred back to
the Patrol Video’s of this filly’s previous races. As a result of this investigation an Inquiry
was opened on the 1st June 2004 into the Running and Riding of CRIMSON RADO.
11
The Inquiry Board heard evidence to the effect that CRIMSON RADO is a small, fractious
and temperamental filly with a soft mouth. She has a history of being unruly at exercise in
the mornings and in parading before going to the start. She has a tendency to duck away
from the whip and performs better without the use of it. Due to these traits, Jockey Venter
had to adapt his riding tactics and style to suit this filly which were distinctly different from
his normal riding style.
The Inquiry Board giving due consideration to all the evidence heard decided to give
Trainer Jacques Strydom and Jockey G Venter the benefit of the doubt and took no further
action. However both trainer and rider were advised that should it be necessary to change
the riding tactics or riding style in future this must be advised to the Stipendiary Board prior
to the horse racing in order for this information to be disseminated.
