0 cents in the dollar for the win #3
1 cents in the dollar for place of winner #3
11 cents in the dollar for 2nd place #4

After viewing the stewards’ patrol footage, apprentice S. Thornton, the rider of BROOK MAGIC, placed 3rd by the Judge, lodged an objection against PUBLISHING POWER being declared 2nd, alleging interference in the straight. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the videos stewards were of the opinion that MEET MR TAYLOR, which laid outwards in the straight, carried PUBLISHING POWER outwards, which momentarily brushed BROOK MAGIC after passing the 100m. After taking into account the degree of interference and the manner in which both horses finished off the race, stewards were not satisfied that had the interference not occurred BROOK MAGIC would have beaten PUBLISHING POWER and therefore dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the numbers semaphored.

Kilner, the rider of THE GREAT BOOMBINO, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR131(a) in that she made insufficient effort to prevent her mount shifting out at that point, resulting in the interference to OUR GIRL SILKE. Apprentice Kilner’s licence to ride in races was suspended for 7 days, commencing midnight Thursday 19 September 2019 and expiring midnight Thursday 26 September 2019.
