Following the race and prior to the declaration of weighed-in, J Moreira, the rider of the second placed, BEAT THE CLOCK, lodged a protest/objection against WINNER’S WAY being declared the winner of the race alleging interference over the final 100 Metres. After reviewing the videos, J Moreira sought leave to withdraw the protest/objection which was immediately acceded to by the Stewards. J Moreira subsequently was fined the sum of $5,000 for lodging a frivolous protest/objection. He was advised that had he have not sought to withdraw the protest/objection at an early stage, a greater monetary penalty may well have been imposed. It should be noted that J Moreira did not seek leave of the Stewards to review the official videos prior to entering a protest/objection.
