MEANT TO BE - broke shortly after the start losing considerable ground. Stewards lodged a protest against the 2nd placing being awarded to this runner on the grounds that it broke in excess of 150m over the early stages. The protest was not contested by connections and MEANT TO BE was disqualified by Stewards. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier manners. Placed on the unruly for future mobiles at the trainers' request.
