ULTIMATE COUNSEL - held up rounding the final bend. Shifted outwards passing the 100m briefly placing an outside runner in restricted room before hanging outwards over the concluding stages. Junior driver N Burton, assisted by driver J Cox, was shown the replay of this incident and issued with a warning for improving into a run where insufficient room existed. Miss Burton was also questioned regarding her lack of vigour over the concluding stages. After considering her explanation, viewing the replays and hearing from Mr Cox, Miss Burton was issued with a warning to ensure she drives her runner out to the end of the race where circumstances permit. In taking this course of action Stewards were mindful of Miss Burton's lack of race day experience and that the horse was hanging outwards causing her some difficulty.
