Submissions for Decision:
Mr Muirhead showed the video replay, identified HIGHLAND STAR and said that it had broken its gait with 80m to travel and had failed to regain its proper gait prior to the end of the race.
Reasons for Decision:
The film evidence was patently clear that HIGHLAND STAR had broken from a trotting gait to galloping with no less than 80m to travel and continued to gallop for the remainder of the race, and as such was in breach of Rule 870(3) and the Breaking Rule Regulation (b).
