Overview

• Jorebel, a 3-1 chance for trainer Chris Gordon, was declared the winner over Hill Station by a nose after a photo finish.
• Freddie Gordon eased up after the last with a clear lead, then re-roused his mount as Hill Station and Luke Scott surged up the inside.
• Officials held an enquiry, noted that a loose horse obscured Gordon’s view, and issued a reminder to ride out to the line rather than a sanction.
• The judge took time to review the image before confirming the verdict, prompting some TV viewers and bettors to question the televised photo.
• Gordon apologised on Sky Sports Racing, calling it a lucky escape and vowing not to make the same mistake again.
