Stewards considered an objection lodged by App. M. Yoshinaga the rider of MISS ROLLALONG which finished fourth against GO RIDING (C. Franklin) being declared second placegetter on the grounds of alleged interference passing the 300 metres. On the evidence it was established that MISS ROLLALONG shifted out of it's own accord and made contact with the hind quarters of VEE ROD and as a result became unbalanced. The protest was therefore dismissed and correct weight was declared as semaphored.
