ROMEO FOXTROT - Driver D Butcher admitted a charge under Rule 869(4) and the Home Straight Regulations on the grounds that he allowed his runner to shift outwards early in the home straight which resulted in MATTY A being forced wider checking NOBLE COUNT, which broke passing the 100m losing its chance. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Butcher's Driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 31 December up to and including 4 January 2024 (2 days).

CYCLONE LUCKY LINDA - broke near the 500m losing all chance. Stewards questioned drivers Z Butcher (CYCLONE LUCKY LINDA) and D Balle (KIMKAR DASH) regarding this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers, it was established that KIMKAR DASH had commenced to shift outwards before being corrected back down towards the marker line when CYCLONE LUCKY LINDA was improving to its outside. CYCLONE LUCKY LINDA then lay inwards rounding the bend which contributed to contact being made to KIMKAR DASH's sulky resulting in CYCLONE LUCKY LINDA breaking. After considering the matter, Stewards were satisfied that culpability could not be solely attributed to either horse or driver. Accordingly, no further action was deemed necessary other than to note the circumstances. Trotted roughly in the run home. Connections advised the mare cast the near fore shoe during the running. A post-race Veterinary examination revealed the mare had a suspected fractured off fore pedal bone which required Veterinary treatment with x-rays being taken tomorrow. Stood down pending a Veterinary clearance. Stewards will follow up the recovery of the mare with connections in the coming days.

When questioned Driver A Poutama advised that he had been placed at a disadvantage when held up briefly entering the home straight and misjudged where the passing lane commenced when racing over the final track marker. Given the circumstances Stewards took the matter no further other than to remind Mr Poutama of his obligations.

BET N WIN - slow early stages. Trotted roughly when racing wide near the 2300m having to be steadied and was restrained to the rear. Trotted roughly rounding the final turn losing ground. When questioned regarding the performance Trainer/Driver B Butt reported that a sulky tyre had deflated over the early stages so he felt that his only option was to drive the gelding cold and look to have one final run. Mr Butt further stated that he would consider making a gear change during the week in an attempt to assist with handling the bends and expected that the horse would derive considerable benefit from its first race right handed.
