HARRISON - raced wide early. Shifted outwards near the 850m and locked wheels with DESTINY DANCE (S Ottley) checking and hampering trailing runners. Driver J Morrison defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging he drove carelessly when shifting outwards abruptly locking wheels with DESTINY DANCE causing interference to SHARDS MATRIX and THE REAL MCCOY. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Mr Morrison and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee upheld the charge and Mr Morrison's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing on 23 May up to and including 2 June 2024 (3 days). Held up throughout the run home.

Co-trainer T White advised the gelding had not raced for several weeks and expected the horse to derive considerable benefit from today's run. A post-race veterinary examination revealed signs of muscle tie up with a high heart rate and slow recovery. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
