HI LIFE - hampered by a breaking runner early in the score up of the restart. Held up early in the run home. Stewards lodged a protest against 4th placing being awarded under Rule 859(2) alleging HI LIFE (R Harrison) started from the incorrect barrier position inside BLACKJACK at the restart despite having the opportunity to be in its correct position resulting in the horse gaining an advantage. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and junior driver R Harrison (assisted by G Smith) the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the protest. Miss Harrison admitted an associated charge in that she allowed HI LIFE to start from the incorrect position and the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $300.
