Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-rule (4) hereof any horse which is not in the correct gait when its nose reaches the finishing line and 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 its horseman, then (subject to r 869(8)) such relegation of the horse shall be at the discretion of the Judicial Committee.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Renault, Stipendiary Steward, demonstrated on the videos that with some 45 metres to run FLOGGING MOLLY went roughly before breaking and galloping across the line. The horse was lapped on by IDEAL ASSET and PARTICULAR.
Mr N Williamson, driver of FLOGGING MOLLY and who represented the connections of the horse, did not contest the protest and did not wish to be present at the hearing.
