A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey J Daniel (CHARMING WIN), the rider of the second placed horse against the winner, GULF EAGLE (S Ruzaini) on the grounds of interference in the straight.
After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered that it appeared at all times down the straight that GULF EAGLE would race passed CHARMING WIN, notwithstanding the afore- mentioned incident.
Consequently, the Board was satisfied that but for the above incident, CHARMING WIN would have finished ahead of GULF EAGLE, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand.
