RIPPLES - shied outwards near the 300m despite the efforts of the driver, locking wheels with ALECTO, hampering outside and trailing runners. A warning was placed on the filly's racing manners. A protest was lodged under Rule 869(A)(2) against 1st placing being awarded to RIPPLES (B Orange) by Driver C Alford (ALECTO) alleging interference near the 300m. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the protest and placings were duly authorised.
