MERIT RATING APPEAL

MERIT RATING APPEAL

An independent National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa (NHA) Merit Rating Appeal panel consisting of Messrs R Napier, G Soma and K Miedema was convened virtually on 17 March 2023. The panel considered Merit Rating Appeals lodged by Trainer Mr J Snaith against the published adjusted ratings of the following horses following the SplashOut Cape Derby (Grade 1) on 25 February 2023 at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Racecourse:
124 given to SEE IT AGAIN
119 given to WITHOUT QUESTION
109 given to ROCKPOOL
The Appeal Panel, after careful consideration regarding if the correct line horse had been used by the Handicappers, concurred that AT MY COMMAND was the correct line horse in this case and that their assessment of the race was correct.
Consequently, the three Appeals were dismissed.
The Appeal Panel ruled that the deposit fee in relation to the three appeals be refunded.
