MIRADOR LASS – Lost second placing on protest and was relegated to fifth position.  As it was established after entering the home straight MIRADOR LASS shifted up the track locking wheels with CHANCETOWIN causing that runner to be checked and race roughly.  Driver Blake Micallef was issued a $200 fine under rule 162(1)(www)(i) for allowing his horse to shift ground in a manner which impeded another horse. 

CHANCETOWIN – Pre-race blood test.  Prior to the all clear driver Amy Diebert indicated her intentions to view the films in relation to the concluding stages of the event.  After viewing the films Ms Diebert who was placed fifth in the event lodged an objection against second placed runner MIRADOR LASS claiming interference over the concluding stages.  After taking evidence from both drivers and viewing the films, Stewards were of the view that at a point passing the 100 metres MIRADOR LASS had shifted up the track locking wheels with CHANCETOWIN causing that runner to be checked and race roughly.  Stewards were satisfied that had the interference not occur to CHANCETOWIN then that runner would have finished in front of MIRADOR LASS and as a result the protest was upheld.  All clear was given on the numbers of 8, 2, 9, 6 and 5.
