FIRNAS (GB) - (X Ziani): Shifted outwards on jumping. When questioned regarding the seemingly improved performance of the gelding, Trainer Mr S bin Ghadayer reported to the Stewards that FIRNAS (GB) appreciated the drop in rating and believes this is a horse on the improve. BOIS DE BOULOGNE (USA) - (R Ffrench): When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of the horse, Trainer Mr S bin Ghadyaer stated that in his opinion the horse did not back up from its most recent start 8 days ago. CAPE OF EAGLES (USA) - (C Beasley): Over-raced in the early and middle stages. TAFAAKHOR (IRE) - (D O'Neill): Over-raced in the early and middle stages. DOLMEN (FR) - (R Mullen): Approaching the 250 metres had to be restrained. General: On return to scale an objection was lodged by Jockey R Mullen (DOLMEN (FR)), second placegetter against the winner FIRNAS (GB)(X Ziani), alleging interference near the 250 metres. After taking evidence from the respective parties and reviewing the video footage, it was established that DOLMEN (FR) had to be restrained slightly as FIRNAS (GB) shifted in near the 250 metres. In the opinion of the Stewards, considering the degree of interference and the position where it occurred, and taking into account the margin of three quarters of a length between FIRNAS (GB) and DOLMEN (FR) at the finish, the Stewards were not comfortably satisfied that had the interference not occurred, DOLMEN (FR) would have beaten FIRNAS (GB). As a result Stewards dismissed the objection and correct weight was declared. At a subsequent inquiry, Jockey X Ziani (FIRNAS (GB)) was reprimanded under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i) for careless riding, in that near the 250 metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of DOLMEN (FR).
