After the running of this race an objection was lodged by the 3rd placed horse HUNTER PEGASUS (S Ruzaini) against the 1st placed horse HARVEYWALLBANGER (App S Shazmin) and the 2nd placed horse LIM’S SINAI (S UZAIR) on the grounds of interference in the straight. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Objection Panel overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Panel took into consideration the finishing distanced between the runners at the finish and that, from the side on angle in particular, it could not be definitively established that but for the incident in question, HUNTER PEGASUS would have finished ahead of HARVEYWALLBANGER and LIM’S SINAI. Accordingly, the objection was overruled and the judge’s result was allowed to stand.
