6 K043  LAHORE  13/04/2025   582  LAHORE (K043) after the 400M blundered. Prior to declaring weighed-in, the Stewards considered as to whether there were sufficient grounds for a protest/objection against the eventual winner and the third placegetter. The Stewards found that when the horse improved into a run where there was doubtful room and the third placegetter and the eventual winner had shifted ground slightly, they declined to lodge a protest/objection and declared weighed-in on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. Approaching the 100M improved into a tight run between the eventual winner and the third placegetter. A short distance later, both runners shifted ground slightly, resulting in the horse then racing in restricted room between those two runners for some distance thereafter and being buffeted - Race 582.
