Tightened momentarily between runners passing the 150m.

On viewing the footage it was confirmed that the front gates of barrier 2 had been slow to open placing PRINCE OF BARODA at a disadvantage. However, as PRINCE OF BARODA had officially been placed 3rd , Stewards, acting under the provisions of AR204(1)(d), declared correct weight onthe judges numbers.
