HEARTBREAK HOTEL - lay outwards during the run home despite the efforts of Driver Z Butcher. A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld to enable Stewards to ascertain whether there were grounds for a protest for alleged interference to VAL THORENS which raced in restricted room between HEARTBREAK HOTEL and FATHER BARRY during the run home. After hearing the relative evidence from Drivers Z Butcher (HEARTBREAK HOTEL), T Mitchell (VAL THORENS) and J Dickie (FATHER BARRY) and viewing the replays Stewards did not proceed with the protest as it could not be established that VAL THORENS would of beaten HEARTBREAK HOTEL with Driver T Mitchell (VAL THORENS) declining the opportunity to proceed with a protest.
