Stewards inquired into an incident near the 800m and after taking evidence from J Orman (MONTENEGRO MAN), A Mallyon(CONFIDANT) and apprentice K Wilson-Taylor (LEROYTHECONQUEROR), it was established that whilst both LEROYTHECONQUEROR & CONFIDANT suffered significant interference due to the speed of the race appearing to steady at that point, Stewards, when considering the evidence, were satisfied that J Orman did not reduce the speed excessively and therefore could not be held culpable under the rules and the incident was noted.
