1. PROSPECTOR (C. Goolgar) lost one length.
1. Jockey B. Sooful (BALOUCHI) appeared before the Stipendiary Stewards and was questioned regarding his riding in the straight. In this regard, his attention was specifically drawn to his decision to go in approaching the 200m when there was ample room ahead of him. Jockey B. Sooful explained that when studying the form for the race, he had noted that INSTINCTIVE POWER (D. David) has a history of hanging out and therefore, he did not want to make his run on the outside of INSTINCTIVE POWER and risk his momentum being stopped if this gelding shifted out. Therefore, he elected to switch to the inside in order to allow his horse a clear run however, at the time of doing so INSTINCTIVE POWER shifted in which resulted in BALOUCHI becoming awkwardly placed on heels. The Board noted the explanations of Jockey B. Sooful which were corroborated by the record of INSTINCTIVE POWER and the patrol films of the race.

1. In the concluding stages, SWAGGER JAGGER (S. Donohoe) had to ease when awkwardly placed on the inside of DONNAN (G. Aucharuz), which shifted in away from the whip and was hanging in. A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by S. Donohoe, the Jockey of the third placed horse (SWAGGER JAGGER), against the provisional winner, DONNAN (G. Aucharuz), on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Objection Board upheld the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Objection Board considered that moving through the 300m, SWAGGER JAGGER (S. Donohoe) was at least two lengths behind DONNAN (G. Aucharuz) and after entering the straight, SWAGGER JAGGER balances up and immediately commenced to close the distance between itself and DONNAN. In this regard, at the 250m, SWAGGER JAGGER had closed the margin to a length, less than a length at the 200m and within a neck approaching the 150m. However, leaving the 150m, as SWAGGER JAGGER was about to definitively take the lead, DONNAN which was shifting in away from the whip and hanging in, tightens SWAGGER JAGGER severely on the rail which results in SWAGGER JAGGER losing all momentum and having to ease sharply. Consequently, the Objection Board was satisfied that but for the above incident, SWAGGER JAGGER would have finished ahead of DONNAN, therefore it upheld the objection and amended the Judge’s result from 4x5x6x2 to 5x6x4x2. Additionally, an inquiry has been opened into this incident and into Jockey G. Aucharuz’s whip use in the straight.
