Following the race driver M Hurrell advised Stewards he believed he had been denied a fair start when unable to take up his correct Unruly barrier position due to HERE'S JOHNY being in his position. Stewards requested a ruling from the Adjudicative Committee and after viewing replays and hearing from Mr Hurrell and Stewards, BY CHANCE was declared a non-runner acting under Rule 213(1)(j) due to being denied a fair start.
