JUST ASK PADDY - checked racing into the first bend losing ground. Held up early in the run home. Shifted inwards near the 100m when driver G Thornley activated the removable deafeners crowding an inside runner. Stewards questioned Miss Thornley in relation to this incident and after considering her explanation and viewing the replays a warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. Miss Thornley advised she would be recommending gear changes. Notwithstanding this Miss Thornley was also spoken to advisedly for the manner in which she drove near the 100m.

When questioned regarding the improved performance connections advised the gelding had been suited to racing close to the pace after improving to the parked position through the middle stages. Junior driver H Sail (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 in a continuous manner in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Sail's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 13 December up to and including 17 December 2024 (2 days).
