1st – Harlin 2nd – Donald Victor 3rd – Star Jangle 4th – Galangal

CAP RIVIERA was examined by the club’s veterinary surgeon prior to the race after dislodging a tooth and was cleared to race.

On return to scale a protest was lodged by J. Byrne, rider of the 2nd placegetter, HARLIN, against DONALD VICTOR being declared the winner, alleging interference over the final stages. After taking evidence from the parties concerned and viewing the official film, stewards found that DONALD VICTOR had shifted out over the concluding stages, making contact with HARLIN, resulting in that filly shifting wider on the track. After taking into account the short half head margin, stewards were of the opinion that the ground lost in the incident warranted a reversal of placings, and the Judge’s placings were altered to read: No.12 – Harlin – 1st; No. 7 Donald Victor – 2nd; No.20 Star Jangle – 3rd; No. 4 Galangal – 4th.
