Race 4: LOCKYER VALLEY REGIONAL COUNCIL QTIS MAIDEN H’CAP – 1400M

Rider S.Fawke required medical attention upon returning to scales and was stood down by Ambulance Officers and was unable to fulfil his engaged ride at Toowoomba.

Due to technical difficulties the photo finish for this race was not in working order judges placings were determined from video reply to the judge and stewards satisfaction.

Correct weight was delayed to allow stewards and connections the opportunity to view the patrol footage leaving the 1100m where interference between CALCETINES and BROCSON occurred. After viewing the films, stewards were satisfied that the interference between the two runners did not warrant a reversal of the placings and therefore correct weight was semaphored on the Judge’s placings.
