HOOFN IT - over-raced middle stages. Broke near the 900m checking and hampering trailing runners losing all chance.

After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr Trotter the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr Trotter's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 14 July 2024 (4 days).
