AKATEA - when questioned regarding the manner in which she had driven rounding the final turn Driver A Harrison advised that the filly had raced greenly throughout and had shifted out entering the home straight when being corrected after having lay in. Miss Harrison also reported that the off side deafener failed to activate and that connections would look to make a corrective gear change prior to next racing.

KISS - lay in rounding the final turn striking a track marker. Paced roughly and had to be steadied near the 180m.

After hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Phelan's Driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 9 March 2024 (7 days).
