Authorisation of the 2nd placing of THE PRINCE was withheld to enable Stewards to view the replay of the run home after THE PRINCE raced over several track markers when looking for a run to the inside of MAKAREWA JAKE which was shifted inwards by GINTARAS when that gelding was securing clear running. The Panel were satisfied that Drivers M. Anderson (THE PRINCE) and R.
