QUEEN ELIDA - over-raced middle stages. Lay inwards near the 1200m and 900m contacting several track markers. Lay inwards again rounding the final bend. Driver C Alford admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion rounding the final bend. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Alford's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 13 April up to and including 19 April 2025 (5 days) and imposed a fine of $500.
