Broke rounding the first turn when challenging for the lead and lost ground before settling. Shifted inwards near the 1750m checking an inside runner which broke briefly as a result. Driver D Ferguson admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly causing interference in this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Ferguson's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 6 August up to and including 16 August 2024 (3 days).
