Baron Orczy Fires in a Protest - and wins

Baron Orczy continued on his winning way at Belmont Park this afternoon albeit in contraversial fashion as he had to win the race on protest!

After getting the sit behind the leader Expedition, Baron Orczy began the chase to the line, however as the leader shifted off the fence, he was cleary impeded on two occasions. As the eventual margin was just a short neck, the Stewards, after considering all evidence, decided to uphold the protest, second against first, and declared Baron Orczy the winner!

The win brought cheers from the crowd who had supported the Baron into favourite. The win means the flashy chestnut has now won his last two starts and he is surely destined for better things to come.
