RACE 1 (R1097) CLASS 5(B) – 1600M
CAPE LINCOLN (R Rueven) was obliged to race wide in the early and middle stages.
D’GREAT MAGIC (AK Lim) had a tendency to hang out in the straight.
In the latter stages, RAISE ME UP (SS Vanan) rolled inwards and made contact with MYSTICAL STAR (K Eirwan). Jockey SS Vanan was warned that he should make a greater attempt to keep his mount on a straight course in future.
App SN Shiva, the rider of THE JEWELLER, and Jockey R Rueven, the rider of CAPE LINCOLN, both reported that their mounts were not striding out freely. Post-race veterinary examinations of THE JEWELLER and CAPE LINCOLN revealed no obvious abnormality.
Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by Jockey K Eirwan, the rider of MYSTICAL STAR, placed 2nd against RAISE ME UP (SS Vanan), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference in the latter stages of the race. After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stood.
