An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after two incidents of interference from approaching the final furlong until winning line, involving the winner, G’DAAY, ridden by Jason Watson, Sir Rodneyredblood (GB), placed sixth, ridden by Marco Ghiani, and Molly Shaw (GB), placed second, ridden by Sebastian Woods.

In the first incident, approaching the final furlong, the interference was found to be accidental in that G’DAAY shifted quickly left-handed before being promptly corrected by Watson giving a bump to Sir Rodneyredblood (GB) and Molly Shaw (GB), unbalancing both horses.

In the second incident, from inside the final furlong until the winning line, Watson was suspended for 3 days for careless riding as he continued to allow his mount to drift left-handed without timely correction, carrying Molly Shaw (GB) off its intended line for a significant period.

The Stewards considered that the interference had improved G’DAAY’s placing as Molly Shaw (GB) had been carried approximately ¾ of the width of the track inside the final furlong by G’DAAY, and the filly lost more ground than the official distance of ½ length between both horses at the line.

The Stewards therefore revised the placings as follows: First, Molly Shaw (GB), Second, G’DAAY, Third, SUZI’S CONNOISSEUR, Fourth, Excellent George (GB).
