DELTA KILO - when questioned regarding his decision to shift away from the leader FRANCO HOFFMAN's back near the 200m Driver W House stated that DELTA KILO had been causing him some difficulty when laying in so he felt it was a better option to shift out on to the back of the improving BLUE CHIP LOU rather than risk contacting the sulky wheel of FRANCO HOFFMAN that appeared to be under pressure. Mr House added that with hindsight he may have been better served to have looked to regain the lead midrace.

BLUE CHIP LOU - lay in on straightening for the run home but was immediately corrected. Driver S Doody admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip & Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion early in the run home. After viewing replays and considering penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Doody's Driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 21 November 2024 (2 days).
