After a Stewards' Enquiry, first past the post, Simple Verse, was disqualified and the race was awarded to Bondi Beach. Another Classic for Aidan O'Brien.

Another reason why the policing & rules of racing in Australia & Hong Hong are light years ahead of Europe!

I didn't think it initially, but the more I watch it now I think the stewards got it right. One significant knock and another small knock halted his momentum at crucial times, and he is still coming at simple verse right up to the line. I'd bet SDS btw...
