ON REPORT - shifted outwards just prior to the start hampering an outside runner. Shifted inwards near the 1600m checking FOURTH AMENDMENT which broke briefly resulting in trailing runners being hampered and checked. Held up over the early and late stages of the run home. Junior driver R Harrison (assisted by B Butt) admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) in that she drove carelessly in this incident. After hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Miss Harrison's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on the 7 January up to and including 16 January 2024 (3 days).
