In the concluding stages, VACQUERO became unbalanced when bumped out on a number of occasions by ELEVATED, which was hanging out. A race review was called into this incident by a member of the Stipendiary Board, this was followed by him lodging an Objection on behalf of the 2nd placed horse, VACQUERO, against the first placed horse, ELEVATED, on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. The Objection Board, after giving regard to the evidence put forward by the respective parties and viewing the patrol films of the race, was of the opinion that the result had been affected by this incident and that VANQUERO would have finished ahead of ELEVATED had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the objection and amended the Judges result accordingly. VACQUERO and ELEVATED were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: KINAAN (AUS) - not striding out right front. ELEVATED - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: CASCAPEDIA (IRE) - insufficient recovery time. COLD CASH - abnormal temperature and off feed. GREEK FIRE - coughing.
