On return to scale a protest was lodged by D. Browne, rider of the 2nd placegetter, MAGIC OF DREAMS, against STAR DROP (J. Orman) being declared the winner alleging interference over the final 50m.

Orman, rider of STAR DROP. Stewards were satisfied that J. Orman’s whip action had not changed and that MAGIC OF DREAMS had shifted in towards STAR DROP, resulting in the contact, and therefore dismissed the objection and correct weight was semaphored on the Judge’s placings.
