A Member of the Western Cape Stipendiary Board lodged an Objection against MAGIC FEET being declared the winner of the 1st Race, [Ref. K215 Welcome to Kenilworth Maiden Plate (F & M) run over 1000M], on Wednesday 6th November 2013, in terms of Rule 68.3.4, in that the filly, which was entered for and had run in this race under the name of MAGIC FEET was in fact a filly called IGNITION LADY.
The Objection Board, after considering the evidence presented found that it was conclusively proved that the horse MAGIC FEET had not participated in the race but that the horse IGNITION LADY in fact ran and won the 1st Race. Accordingly the Objection was upheld. In terms of Rule 69.6 the horse that ran as MAGIC FEET is disqualified from the race, and the Judges’ placings were amended accordingly. All records pertaining to MAGIC FEET, in this race, are to be expunged from the Official records. Furthermore, the provisions of Rule 67.7.8.1, pertaining to Stake money applies.
