TU TANGATA - broke at the start losing ground. Stewards questioned driver P Nairn regarding his apparent lack of vigour until late in the run home. After hearing Mr Nairn's explanation Stewards issued a charge under Rule 868(2), which Mr Nairn defended, alleging that he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure his runner was given full opportunity to win the race by failing to show sufficient vigour in the run home when there was a reasonable chance of finishing in 1st placing. After viewing replays and hearing evidence from all parties, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and suspended Mr Nairn's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 30 December up to and including 21 January 2024 (7 days).
