Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by Jockey SS Vanan, the rider of MYSTICAL STAR, placed second against ARIF (App AR Aiman), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference from the 350M. After considering the evidence and viewing the video, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stood.
