GRACE N ELEGANCE - held up final bend contacting and puncturing the sulky tyre of PLAY FAST AND LOOSE. Junior driver H Moralde Sands (assisted by driver J Dickie) admitted a charge 869(3)(b) in that she drove carelessly in this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $150. Held up throughout the run home with Ms Moralde Sands not activating the removeable deafeners as a result. Ms Moralde Sands was also questioned in relation to her decision not to shift out off the back of PLAY FAST AND LOOSE approaching the 500m before being covered by PRESIDENT FLYNNTIN. She explained that her mare had shifted in and became awkwardly placed to the sulky of PLAY FAST AND LOOSE when she had crossed her reins to turn her whip and had to be corrected which resulted in her losing the opportunity to shift out to a three wide position. After taking into account Ms Moralde Sands explanation and her relative inexperience Stewards took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances.
