Video coverage of the start of this race was shown, and it could clearly be seen that the outside gate of MAGNANIMOUS was late in opening.  Mr Holmes said that his horse lost considerable ground because of the delay in the gate opening, and that he lost his chance in the race.

--

 

--

Mr Oatham said that he believed that the problem with the gate had denied MAGNANIMOUS a fair start, and that this could clearly been seen from the video replay.  Mr Oatham said that in the circumstances the horse should be late scratched.

--

 

--

 

--

After seeing the video coverage, and after hearing from the persons involved we were satisfied that, in terms of Rule 865A, MAGNANIMOUS was denied a fair start because the starting gate was slow in opening.  We were also satisfied that the  chances of MAGNANIMOUS were materially prejudiced.

--

 

--

Accordingly we made a ruling that MAGNANIMOUS be declared a non-starter and that all bets on the horse be refunded.
