This is what happened previously.
The Stipes Report:
A race review was called into the start of this race as the Starter declared a No Start due to IT’S IN THE AIR breaking the front gate prematurely. All riders were brought before the Board and questioned. They stated they were unaware that a No Start had been called and had raced as normal. Jockey K Steyn, the rider of FOREST SPECTRUM, stated he heard the siren and eased his mount for several strides passing the 1200 metre mark and continued to race. The Board was of the opinion that the result had not been affected and acted in terms of NHA rule 61.5.11 and overruled the Starters decision.
