Stewards' Reports for UAE Arabian Derby
Correct weight was delayed due to an objection being lodged by Trainer Mr. M Daggash (SULTANA (GB), which was placed third, against HAROON (GB)(A Fresu), which was placed first, alleging interference over the concluding stages. After viewing the video footage and taking evidence from both riders and respective Trainers, it was established that over the concluding stages HAROON (GB) shifted outwards abruptly resulting in SULTANA (GB) having to be checked when tightened for room. Taking into account the margin at the finish of 1.25 lengths, that the interference occurred approaching the winning post and that HAROON (GB) had made ground past SULTANA (GB) before the incident, Stewards were comfortably satisfied that had the interference not occurred that there would have been no alteration in the finishing order of the race. As such the objection was dismissed and correct weight was declared. AF MUALAMI (FR) - (T O'Shea): Bumped by another runner in the straight. HAROON (GB) - (A Fresu): Commenced awkwardly and lost ground. Had to shift inwards passing the 200 metres when runners to the inside shifted outwards. Approaching the winning post shifted outward abruptly and bumped another runner. ITCHY DE NACRE (FR) - (A Al Balushi): Reared on jumping and lost ground. Raced wide without cover in the middle stages. MH FRENCHY D'EPINETTE (FR) - (P Dobbs): Bumped on jumping and lost ground. QASED SB (OM) - (A de Vries): Slow to begin. RB HEADLYGHT (US) - (R Mullen): Had to be eased when momentarily tightened for room by another runner near the 100 metres. SADN (FR) - (B Pinheiro): Commenced awkwardly. TAJ AL IZZ (FR) - (S Kirrane): Over-raced in the early stages. YAS XMNSOR (AE) - (S Al Balushi): Raced ungenerously in the early stages. Near the 100 metres shifted in when laying and hampered another runner. GUCCI GIRL (US) - (S Hitchcott): Slow to begin and lost ground. SULTANA (GB) - (F Jara): On jumping shifted out and bumped another runner. Lay out and bumped another runner in the straight. Approaching the winning post had to be checked when tightened for room and bumped by another runner. General: Subsequent to the objection, Stewards inquired into the reason for SULTANA (GB)(F Jara) being tightened for room over the concluding stages. On the evidence and available footage it was established that over the concluding stages HAROON (GB)(A Fresu) shifted out abruptly tightening the running of SULTANA (GB), which was bumped and had to be checked. Stewards took into account the racing manners of HAROON (GB) and noted that A Fresu did his upmost to straighten his mount as the incident occurred. As such the incident was reported it as a racing incident. Apprentice S Al Balushi (YAS XMNSOR (AE)) was advised to exercise more care, in that near the 100 metres he shifted in when laying and hampered RB HEADLYGHT (US)(R Mullen).
