Following the race, driver W House (AMERICAN BLAZE) placed 5th, lodged a protest against 4th placing being awarded to MANDALA (T Williams) alleging interference in the run home. After viewing replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and both drivers the Adjudicative Committee upheld the protest and relegated MANDALA to 5th placing with AMERICAN BLAZE promoted to 4th placing. After considering the matter Stewards elected to take no action against Mr Williams due to the minimal inwards movement of his horse.
