He pointed to the horse shortly after, gallop free of interference, and continue on in a gallop past the winning post. Mr Ydgren stated the horse had galloped for approximately 175 metres, finishing in fifth place.
Mr Ydgren sought disqualification of HARRY POTTER from the Race under Rule 870(3).
Reasons for Decision:
The Committee carefully considered all the evidence and video footage. The Committee was satisfied HARRY POTTER had galloped for approximately 175 metres from the finish, free of interference, and continued on in a gallop past the winning post and therefore in breach of the Galloping Horse Regulations.
