Race 8: PERTRONIC INDUSTRIES CLASS 6 PLATE – 1350M

After viewing the stewards’ patrol footage, apprentice B. Stower, the rider of LORDAG, placed 2nd by the Judge, lodged an objection against GOTYACOVERED being declared the winner, alleging interference close to the finishing line. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the videos, it was established that although GOTYACOVERED did shift out and made contact with LORDAG, bearing in mind the proximity of the incident to the finishing line and the margin separating both runners, stewards could not be comfortably satisfied that had the incident not occurred the placings would have been reversed, and therefore the protest was dismissed and correct weight was declared on the Judge’s placings.
