STILL ROCKIN - Stewards questioned driver R Gutsell regarding the tactics he adopted in the early stages, in particular when persisting in a challenge for the lead from the 1600m for a distance of 1000m and not giving his runner any respite. After hearing the explanation tendered Stewards issued Mr Gutsell with a charge under Rule 869(3)(g), which was admitted, in that he drove in a manner capable of diminishing the chances of the gelding finishing in its best possible position. After viewing the replays and considering submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Gutsell's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 25 March up to and including 27 April 2024 (7 days.)
