--Mr P Reid, trainer of Maisie Be told the committee he felt the incident cost his horse 2nd placing.

DECISION AND REASON
--This is not a frivolous protest, Interference did take place. Both films confirmed that.
--Miss Bishop your actions, in allowing your mount to move inwards caused tightening to the horse on your inside.
--Jockey Waddell was adamant in his submissions that the incident prevented him from finishing in a higher placing and that he had to stop riding and take hold of his mount 4---5 strides short of the winning post.
--The committee has carefully viewed both available films and believe there is an element of doubt at the point the alleged interference occurred.
--We were of the opinion that doubt did exist over whether Mr Waddell’s mount was prevented from finishing in a higher placing and therefore the protest was dismissed and placings allowed to stand.
