Race 1: GOLDEN DOWNS ULTIMATE ENJOYMENT Colts, Geldings &
Entires Maiden Plate 1200 metres
 
On return to scale a protest was lodged by B El Issa, rider of fourth placegetter AIR FORCE ROCKET, against both 2nd placegetter DAASHUR and 3rd placegetter BULL DIMPLE RUN alleging interference near the 800 metres. After viewing the patrol footage, B El Issa was granted permission to withdraw the protest against 2nd placegetter DAASHUR. In considering the protest against 3rd placegetter BULL DIMPLE RUN, Stewards found near the 800 metres BULL DIMPLE RUN, after being crossed by REBEL CAUSE, shifted out when racing greenly momentarily taking AIR FORCE ROCKET wider on the track. Bearing in mind where the incident took place and the ¾ length margin at the finish, the protest was dismissed and correct weight declared on the semaphored numbers.
