SHE'S TOUGH - over-raced early and middle stages when racing wide on the track. Unsuccessfully challenged for the lead through the middle stages. Weakened final bend and was crowded by outside runners. Stewards questioned driver R Reekie regarding the tactics he adopted through the middle stages when unsuccessfully challenging JUBILEE ROCK for the lead before weakening. After considering his explanation, Stewards issued a charge under Rule 869(3)(g) alleging he drove in a manner capable of diminishing his chances of winning by failing to give his horse sufficient respite when continuing to apply pressure to JUBILEE ROCK which was leading through the middle stages. Mr Reekie admitted the charge and after viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Reekie's Amateur driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 1 September 2024 (4 months).
