The Stewards deferred the declaration of weighed-in as they were of the view that an incident occurred over the concluding stages which cast doubt as to whether the eventual winner should be declared the winner. Subsequently, rider of the horse, lodged a protest/objection against the eventual winner being declared the winner alleging interference over the concluding stages. After considering the evidence the Stewards found that the eventual winner shifted out over the concluding stages, making slight contact with the horse, however, they could not be comfortably satisfied that had the contact not have occurred that the horse would have finished in advance of the eventual winner and therefore the protest/objection was overruled and weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge - Race 626.
