PLAYOFFS - held up early in the run home. Hampered by a breaking runner near the 250m. Broke late in the run home hampering trailing runners and continued on in a break across the finish line. Stewards lodged a protest against 3rd placing being awarded under Rule 870(5) alleging the gelding was lapped on at the finish by PASTERNAK, CHESTER GOLD and SCHOEMAKER. After viewing the replays driver G O'Reilly did not contest the protest and PLAYOFFS was relegated to 6th placing by Stewards.
