Race 3

Following Race 3 a protest was lodged by Mr AR Coles pursuant to Rule 876(1).
| -- Following Race 3 a protest was lodged by Mr AR Coles pursuant to Rule 876(1). It was alleged that DARLEY BALL PARK (No.8) ridden by apprentice jockey T Harris placed second by the judge interfered with the chances of SNIPPETS INIT (No.10) placed third by the judge. The interference was alleged to have occurred in the final straight. ----The official margin between second and third placing was half a length. ----We heard evidence from Mr Oatham who demonstrated on race videos head-on and back-on. He indicated that DARLEY BALL PARK moved out two horse widths causing severe interference to SNIPPETS INIT, that horse thereby losing momentum at an important stage of the race. Mr D Lang, representing the trainer, M Mateara, conceded that there was noticeable interference caused by DARLEY BALL PARK, but it was close to the finishing line. ----Mr T Russell, rider of SNIPPETS INIT said that as a result of the interference it cost him at least half a length. ----DECISION: ----The Committee carefully considered all evidence and viewed the race video films (head-on and back-on). The film clearly shows DARLEY BALL PARK moving out into the line of SNIPPETS INIT and causing severe interference. ----We find that there was interference and the chances of SNIPPETS INIT were affected in gaining a better placing. Accordingly, we have a discretion to relegate and we do so because there was significant interference suffered by SNIPPETS INIT caused by DARLEY BALL PARK at a critical stage of the race. Also taking into account the margin of half a length between second and third placing, also that SNIPPETS INIT finished strongly to the line. Accordingly, the protest is upheld. ----The amended placings are as follows ? --1st - 2 TIME WARP --2nd - 10 SNIPPETS INIT --3rd - 8 DARLEY BALL PARK --4th - 3 COUNT TRAJAN --5th - 4 MINZA DIAMOND |
