Stewards Reports 1. At the 1250m, SEATTLE KID (M P De Oliveira) was momentarily inconvenienced when awkwardly placed on the inside of GRAND VISION (S Rama) which rolled in. 2. An inquiry will be opened into Jockey J De Souza riding of QUATRO FIVE SIX in this race. 3. NOIR'S BOY (A Andrews) and BLACKBURN ROC (I Taka) raced wide around the turn and into the straight. 4.

Thereafter, BLACKBURN ROC (I Taka) was bumped out by GRAND VISION (S Rama) which continued to shift out. A race review was called into this incident which was followed by an objection being lodged by the Trainer (C Daby) of the third placed horse (SEATTLE KID) against the second placed horse (BLACKBURN ROC) and the first placed horse (GRAND VISION) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. Additionally, a second objection was lodged by the Trainer (S Mahadia) of the second placed horse (BLACKBURN ROC) against the first placed horse (GRAND VISION) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. After considering the evidence, the Board overruled both objections. In arriving at this conclusion, the Board took into consideration the proximity of the interference to the finish, the distance between the three horses at the finish, the visual momentum of SEATTLE KID (M P De Oliveira) and BLACKBURN ROC (I Taka) prior to and after the interference in question, that Jockey S Rama had not ridden his mount to the end of the race and had in fact drew away when corrected. Additionally, the Board considered for the objection of the second placed versus the first placed that due to the proximity of this incident to the finish, the prejudice suffered and whether if quantified, the Board could say for certain in its mind that BLACKBURN ROC (I Taka) would have finished ahead of GRAND VISION (S Rama). When balancing each of these factors, the Board could not establish from the patrol films of the race that but for the aforementioned interference, SEATTLE KID (M P De Oliveira) would have finished ahead of BLACKBURN ROC (I Taka) and GRAND VISION (S Rama) and that BLACKBURN ROC (I Taka) would have finished ahead of GRAND VISION (S Rama). Therefore, it overruled the objections and allowed the judge’s result to stand. 6. An inquiry has been opened into Jockey S Rama’s riding in this race. Veterinary Surgeon Reports 1.
