SANS REPOS - held up early in the run home.

After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr Alfeld, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and suspended Mr Alfeld's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 26 July 2026 (2 days).

LORD MUDRICK - broke passing the 150m after being placed in restricted room. Stewards spoke to drivers C Butt (LORD MUDRICK), B Orange (LORTON VALE) and S McNally (HARRY BELAFONTE) regarding this incident where it was established that LORD MUDRICK had been crowded between MIRACLE MEMPHIS which was racing to its outside and had lay inwards simultaneously to LORTON VALE becoming awkwardly positioned to the wheel of HARRY BELAFONTE. After hearing from drivers and viewing the replays, Stewards were unable to apportion sole blame onto any one horse or driver however notwithstanding this, Mr McNally was issued a warning to make a greater effort to maintain a straight course throughout the run home in future.
