On return to scale, R. McMahon, the rider of 2nd placegetter RAUTAI’S WARRIOR, lodged a protest against THEBAREFOOTBUSHMAN (J. Byrne) being declared the winner, alleging interference from the 300m to the winning post. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the official race video, stewards found that the amount of interference suffered did not warrant a reversal of the Judge’s placings due to the fact that RAUTAI’S WARRIOR had moved out making contact with THEBAREFOOTBUSHMAN on both occasions and therefore dismissed the objection.
JADE CITY (A. Pattillo) began awkwardly and jumped out at the start, taking INTER THE FRAY (B. Thomson) out on to OUT THERE (C. Schumacher).
