Following the running of this race Stewards considered an objection by Jockey A Solis the rider of PICO CENTRAL (BRZ) placed fourth against the first placed SARATOGA COUNTY (USA) (J Castellano) alleging interference at the 400m. After considering the evidence Stewards dismissed this objection and ratified the judge's placings. CONROY (USA) (W Marwing) reared at the start losing considerable ground. SUSHI-BAR (BRZ) (T Pereira) was slow into stride. Passing the 450m SARATOGA COUNTY (USA) (J Castellano) shifted in carrying MY COUSIN MATT (USA) (P Valenzuela) inwards and causing PICO CENTRAL (BRZ) (A Solis) to be checked. On enquiry jockey J Castellano pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under ERA 69 (i) and was subsequently suspended from riding in races for two days (Abu Dhabi on April 3 and April 10, 2005) and fined US $ 10,000.
