LOFTY BROGDEN tended to over-race during the middle stages while trailing on the outer.
An information was lodged alleging that Amateur Driver G Cronin was in breach of Rule 868(2) in that he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that LOLA JONES received full opportunity between the 1900 metres and 1500 metres by maintaining the lead when challenged by GOD FORBID and that this resulted in LOLA JONES tiring badly over the final stages. The charge was defended however the JCA found the charge to be proven and suspended Mr Cronin's Advanced Amateur Driver's licence up to and including 23 July 2015 (10 weeks).
A further information was lodged alleging that Amateur Driver G Cronin (LOLA JONES) was in breach of Rule 869(2)(a) in that he used his whip excessively and unnecessarily inside the final 400 metres.
