3rd No. 12 Door Slammer
4th No. 8 Innes Boyz
The margins were:

Submissions for Decision:
Stipendiary Steward Mr Mulcay showed all relevant films and said that RARANGI JEWEL broke its gait with 40m to travel and was still in a gallop at the winning post in spite of its driver doing all he could to return the horse to the trotting gait. He added that at the winning post the third and fourth place getters had lapped on, hence the protest.
Mr D Butcher representing the connections of RARANGI JEWEL said that he agreed with Mr Mulcay’s interpretation of events in that RARANGI JEWEL had galloped over the line and that the two other horses had lapped on.
Reasons for Decision:
After considering all of the evidence the committee was satisfied that RARANGI JEWEL had gone from a trotting gait to a galloping gait with approximately 40m to travel and that it was still in a gallop on reaching the winning post and that the third and fourth place getters (DOOR SLAMMER and INNES BOYZ) respectively) had lapped on.
