WHO'S YA DADDY - Stewards lodged a protest against 2nd placing being awarded under Rule 859(2) to determine whether the gelding had started in advance of its correct unruly position on the second line. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards, driver B Butt and Starter R Donnelly, the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the protest. Cleared from the unruly for future mobile starts.
