Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by Jockey L De Souza, the rider of KYO, placed 2nd against TAIL SPIN (App WW Cheah), being declared the winner on ground of alleged interference over the last 30M-mark. After considering all evidence, the Panel of Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stands.
