Kintyre (obscured) claimed the Group 3 Frank Packer Plate in the stewards room.

The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained galloper seemingly did enough to score, initially making every post a winner; however, after reviewing the footage, it was clear to see the interference caused to the eventual winner. It was a…
