RACE 9 - MOE CUP DAY THURSDAY 17 OCTOBER C, G, & E CLASS 2 HANDICAP. 1100 metres
Prior to correct weight V. Duric, rider of "Andalay", the second place-getter, wished to view the Stewards' patrol video and T.V. version of the straight before deciding whether to lodge an objection. After viewing the films, V. Duric decided to proceed with an objection, alleging interference against "Gold Pele" being declared the first place-getter shortly after entering the straight. After taking evidence from the parties concerned and after viewing the Stewards'patrol and T.V. versions of the race, Stewards upheld the objection, the amended placings being - "Andalay" (first), "Gold Pele" (second) and "Salvage" (third). It was established that near the 200 metres, "Gold Pele" (M. Flaherty) shifted out when not sufficiently clear of "Andalay", bumping the hindquarters of "Andalay", resulting in that colt becoming unbalanced and shifting out away from "Gold Pele". M. Flaherty was notified to exercise more care when shifting ground in future.
