Submissions for Decision:
Mr Ydgren showed a video replay of the final 200 metres of the race. He pointed out J D SPUR, driven by Mr Geddes, break from its gait approximately 15-20 metres from the finishing line and continue in a gallop to past the finishing line. The horse finished in 4th placing and was, clearly, lapped on by the 5th placed runner, MARIPOSA. There was some discussion as to whether it was also lapped on by the 6th placed runner, COMMANDER GALLEON. After a consideration of the video replay and the official photo finish of the race and, having regard to the judge’s official margin between 4th and 6th (1 length), the Committee was satisfied that it was not so lapped on.
Reasons for Decision:
The Committee was satisfied that J D SPUR was not in its correct gait when its nose reached the finishing line and that it was lapped on by the 5th placed runner, MARIPOSA, in its correct gait.
