Race 4: “Truckies Day” 29 August Handicap 0-58 – 1400m
Apprentice Jockey L Maloney rider of the second placed RUN AND TELL lodged a protest against the winner SUPER SHARP ridden by jockey R Vigar alleging interference in the back straight. It was established that near the 900m SUPER SHARP shifted in and RUN AND TELL was momentarily steadied when racing in restricted room. Stewards were satisfied that the interference was only minor and had no bearing on the result of the race and the protest was therefore dismissed and correct weight semaphored.
