FINAL CHANGE - raced with its inside wheel protruding inside the track markers for a distance in the run home. Stewards lodged a protest under Rule 869(7B) against the gelding's third placing, alleging that racing with its wheel protruding inside track markers it gained an advantage through obtaining and improving into a run that would not otherwise have been available. After hearing evidence from Stewards, Junior Driver H Orange (assisted by T Herlihy) the Adjudicative Committee upheld the protest and FINAL CHANGE was relegated to 4th place. Junior Driver H Orange (assisted by Z Butcher) admitted an associated charge in that he shifted inwards allowing his sulky wheel to protrude over the marker line in the run home thereby gaining and advantage. After hearing submission on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Orange's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 7 June 2026 (2 days).
