HEISENBERG - fractious prior to the start and breasted the barrier strand despite the efforts of driver K Newman with a false start being declared after the barrier failed to clear the track. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Junior driver K Newman, who declined assistance from a Senior driver, admitted a breach of Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion and in a continuous manner in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Newman's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 18 October 2024 (2 days).

SOONER THE BETTOR - pre-race warmed. Shifted down into the passing lane near the 100m briefly crowding KANGO which contacted a track marker. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until Stewards questioned Driver D Butcher (KANGO - 4th place) who confirmed that his chances had not been affected. Driver T Herlihy admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion in the run home. After hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Herlihy's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on the 12 April up to and including 26 April 2024 (3 days).
