The Board after viewing the patrol videos from the various angles, hearing all the evidence and considering the distance of 0.25 lengths was of the opinion that but for the interference THIRTYTWO SQUADRON (*T Godden) would have beaten NICKLAUS (BRZ) (*E Ngwane) and therefore upheld the Objection and amended the Judge’s result.
