From the 400M to the 100M, KSATRIA raced near the heels of RED SUN. Thereafter KSATRIA from behind of RED SUN shifted out to continue its run.
A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey J De Souza, the Jockey of the judges’ second placed horse, KSATRIA against the judges’ first placed horse, RED SUN (CK Khaw) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Panel of Stewards overruled the objection and ordered the judge’s result to stand.
In arriving at this decision, Stewards considered that despite hanging out in the straight, RED SUN appeared to raced more than a length clear of KSATRIA until approximately the 100M when KSATRIA clearly secured the running on the outside of RED SUN and from that point both RED SUN and KSATRIA had a fair opportunity to race to the finish.
