--
An information was lodged by Stipendiary Steward Mr P T Knowles, instigating a protest lodged under Rule 869 (8) (b) - MAKAREWA STEPH driven by Mr B J Morris, broke and checked CASTLETON'S JEWEL causing CASTLETON'S JEWEL to lose considerable ground.
--Mr Knowles commenced proceedings by using video to highlight the alleged incident at the start. He pointed out where MAKAREWA STEPH, no. 4, driven by Mr B Morris, had swung sideways into the path of no. 10, CASTLETON'S JEWEL - allegedly causing that horse to break / check and lose ground.
--Mr N Williamson, in giving evidence, used video to explain that his horse CASTLETON'S JEWEL had started out of position (because it was fractious) and was actually commencing to break - just before MAKAREWA STEPH swung sideways, taking his line.
--Mr Morris confirmed this sequence, stating that no. 5 HEART THROB HEST had also momentarily checked his horse, adding to the confusion.
--Mr Williamson was adamant that his horse was already in a break and had in fact broken again immediately after settling.
--DECISION & REASONS :
--My decision is to dismiss the protest and to allow all placings as the horses finished to remain.
--- --
- Clear video evidence of the incident which showed that CASTLETON'S JEWEL, no. 10, had indeed broken whilst clear of any interference. --
- Evidence given by both drivers involved, Mr Williamson (CASTLETON'S JEWEL) and Mr Morris (MAKAREWA STEPH) which confirmed my viewing of the film.
