BULLIT TRAIN - pre-race warmed. Driver S Ottley defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging she drove carelessly leaving the final bend by shifting ground outwards when insufficiently clear of FEAR AND FAITH which was checked near the 250m. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Miss Ottley the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and imposed a fine of $350.
