ARAFURA - checked when unable to avoid a fallen driver inside the 50m and broke as a result losing ground before finishing in 4th place and was lapped on by the 5th placed DEBBIE LINCOLN. Given that this runner had broken as a result of interference Stewards exercised their discretion under Rule 870(5) with not proceeding with a protest.
