Jockey How Yang, the rider of JEFFREY, was questioned with regards to his ride at approximately the 800M-mark.

Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by Jockey R Narendran, the rider of HELLO MONDAY, placed 5th, against PENANG GENERAL (AM Aizat), being declared the 2nd place getter, on the grounds of alleged interference at the latter stages. 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.
