HIGHER POWER - driver S Phelan defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging that he drove carelessly when shifting ground inwards near the 800m resulting in ILLICIT LOVE (C Hackett) being checked and losing ground. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and after hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Phelan's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 28 November up to and including 12 December 2025 (3 days).
