Miss Young was not present at the hearing of the information. She had endorsed on the information form and signed “I do not contest the protest”. Mr Renault confirmed that Miss Young did not wish to be present at the protest hearing.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-rule (4) hereof any horse which is not in the correct gait when its nose reaches the finishing line which is lapped on by any other horse or horses in the correct gait shall be placed by the Judicial Committee behind such horse or horses provided that where such first mentioned horse is not in its correct gait as a result of interference to such horse or horseman, then (subject to Rule 869 (8) such relegation of the horse shall be at the discretion of the Judicial Committee.
