PLACINGS ALTERED AT WASHDYKE After the running of the Seadown ' Handicap an objection was lodged against third placing being awarded to Buren, on the ground of interference to Wimpy. It. was unanimously decided that Buren (T. Thompson) did cause in- ! terference to Wimpy, and he was disqualified. Highland Glory, which finished fourth, was promoted to third. It was found that Thompson 1 did his best to keep his horse straight, and no blame was attached to him. I G. D. Shand and A. J. Bromby i were each fined £1 for driving with a foot out of the rest in the same 1 race. D. McCormack, driver of Jean Able i in the Temuka Handicap, was fined . £S for undue use of hit whip.
