PARAMOUNT LADY - broke racing into first bend losing ground. Broke again near the 700m after striking the sulky wheel of MAVIS JONES hampering a trailing runner losing all chance. Driver S Ottley defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that she drove carelessly when allowing her horse to strike the sulky wheel of MAVIS JONES and break in consequence. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Miss Ottley the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and imposed a fine of $300.

DANCING GLENIS - broke at the start losing ground. Switched to a pace after 50m and continued on in a pace throughout the race. Held up for clear racing room in the run home. Stewards lodged a protest against 5th placing being awarded to the mare under Rule 870(3) and the Breaking Horses Regulation for being in the incorrect gait for in excess of 150m. The connections did not contest the protest and DANCING GLENIS was disqualified by the Stewards. Junior driver H Douglas (assisted by B Williamson) admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(a) in that he drove incompetently by allowing DANCING GLENIS to pace for the majority of the race after breaking at the start. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Douglas' driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 21 July up to and including 29 August 2024 (8 days).
