JASINOVA - the start was delayed when JASINOVA required the assistance of a Starting Attendant to take up its position. A warning was placed on the mare's barrier manners. Over-raced middle stages. Trainer/Driver L Chin was questioned regarding his apparent variation of tactics in this mare's recent races. Dr Chin stated that he had been disappointed with the manner in which this runner had been failing to finish her races off in recent starts so elected to drive her with cover at her last start at Cambridge on 1 October in what was a small field, however she had only run on fairly over the final stages to finish in 4th place beaten 1.8 lengths. Dr Chin further stated that JASINOVA may have taken benefit from this race and had traveled well after finding the lead near the 2100m without having to work too hard in tonight's event. He further advised that it was his intention to drive the mare in a similar manner as tonight in the immediate future should circumstances permit. After considering the matter Stewards deemed no further action was warranted other than to note Dr Chin's comments.

ILSAS SON - raced wide early. Held up final stages of the run home. When questioned regarding her decision not to shift out to lead up the running line prior to being covered near the 1400m Junior Driver M Ranger (assisted by S Phelan) stated that she had been instructed to save the gelding for one run in what was its first race back from a lengthy spell. Ms Ranger further stated that after working early when able to improve wide she then felt her best option was to remain on the marker line rather than risk being caught without cover for the remainder of the event. Co-trainer S Phelan confirmed the instructions and advised that these were as a result of the gelding only performing moderately in a recent trial and expected that this runner would derive considerable benefit from the race. Stewards noted the respective comments.

OUR PEGASUS PEARL - driver D Morrison admitted a breach of Rule 869(4)(6)(b)(c) in that he shifted outwards passing the 1400m forcing FEARLESS to race wider on the track. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Morrison's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 7 July 2024 (2 days). Mr Morrison was also warned for failing to concede his position at the earliest opportunity when being shifted wider on the track by an inside runner passing the 800m. Mr Morrison was further spoken to advisedly for the manner in which he urged his runner with the reins in the run home.

After hearing the relative evidence from Drivers Z Butcher (HEARTBREAK HOTEL), T Mitchell (VAL THORENS) and J Dickie (FATHER BARRY) and viewing the replays Stewards did not proceed with the protest as it could not be established that VAL THORENS would of beaten HEARTBREAK HOTEL with Driver T Mitchell (VAL THORENS) declining the opportunity to proceed with a protest.
