KNOCKSHANBALLY - shifted inwards racing into the first bend resulting in TOPAZ having to be restrained. Over-raced middle stages. Weakened leaving the final bend. Junior driver A Drake, who declined assistance from a senior driver, admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly by allowing his horse to shift inwards racing into the first bend when insufficiently clear of TOPAZ which was checked and lost its rightful racing position. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Drake's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 26 May 2024 (2 days).
