An objection was lodged by App KC Wong, the trainer of RISING GLORY (App KC Wong), placed second, against READY TO ROCK (J De Souza), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 50M mark.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of READY TO ROCK, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that from approaching the 100M, he allowed his horse to shift inwards under a right-handed drive causing him to bump with RISING GLORY.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.
