HOOFN IT - over-raced middle stages. Broke near the 900m checking and hampering trailing runners losing all chance. Driver S Trotter defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging he drove carelessly passing the 1000m by displaying a lack of control when activating gear resulting in his runner becoming awkwardly placed between PARADISE ALI and SHE'S GOT SASS and breaking in consequence. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr Trotter the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr Trotter's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 14 July 2024 (4 days).

LADY LUCINDA - held up early in the run home. Checked and broke passing the 200m losing all chance. Stewards spoke to drivers P Davis (ORIGIN) and R Close (LADY LUCINDA) where it was established that ORIGIN had lay outwards simultaneously to LADY LUCINDA laying inwards. After viewing the replays and considering the matter Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one horse or driver and accordingly no further action was deemed necessary. Mr Close advised the filly had hung inwards at various stages throughout.

A REASON TO FIGHT - broke for a considerable distance racing into the first bend and lost ground after striking the sulky wheel of OLIVER which shifted inwards when insufficiently clear. Authorisation of 4th placing was withheld until Stewards had viewed the replays and spoken to driver S McNally who confirmed his horse had broken as a result of suffering interference. After considering the matter which was evident on the replays, Stewards exercised discretion in accordance with the Breaking Horses Regulation by not disqualifying the horse from the race.
