We Found It  | Stewards considered an objection lodged by second placegetter against the gelding, alleging interference over the final stages. On the evidence it was established that inside the final 30 metres gelding shifted out under riding and bumped the second placegetter carrying it wider. Bearing in mind the manner in which both horses ran to the finish, and the margin of a nose between them at the finish, stewards were comfortably satisfied that had the interference not occurred second placegetter would have finished ahead of the gelding. Accordingly the protest was upheld and the placings amended.   | Mackay  | 12/05/2016  | |
