CARRERA VAMOS - broke briefly at the start. Attempted to pull up and broke just prior to the finish resulting in checks to CEE WHATABET and PICK IT UP. Stood down to trial to the satisfaction of Stewards on one occasion prior to resuming. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. Stewards lodged a protest against 4th placing being awarded under Rule 870(5) alleging the mare was lapped on at the finish by KENSINGTON MIKE. Connections did not contest the protest and CARRERA VAMOS was relegated to 5th placing by Stewards.
