TROUBLESHOOTER - broke near the 900m checking trailing runners. Stewards lodged a protest against 4th placing being awarded to TROUBLESHOOTER (R May) under Rule 869A(2) alleging interference to (TOKYO ROSE) (S Ottley) placed 5th, near the 900m. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee upheld the protest and TROUBLESHOOTER was relegated to 5th placing. A warning was placed on the racing record of the mare.
