RACE 1: J J KNOX MAIDEN PLATE – 1000M.

Stewards accepted the explanation from Trainer T Sears (SWERVES) for a late declaration of rider.

A protest was lodged by App.M Abe (SWERVES) 4th against the 1st placegetter TAMARSHAK (D Hutchins) for alleged interference near the 700m. After taking evidence from all parties and the viewing of the patrol cameras the protest was dismissed and placing stood, Stewards advised App. Abe the protest was borderline frivolous however at a subsequent inquiry it was found that TAMARSHAK raced greenly during the early stages shifting in near the 700m causing SWERVES to steady.
