EXECUTIVE BANNER - hampered by a weakening runner and broke when shifting wider near the 300m losing ground and hampering trailing runners. Driver R Houghton admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly by shifting ground when not in a position to do so. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Houghton's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 10 March up to and including 17 March 2024 (2 days).
