Mr May defended a breach of Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations alleging he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr May the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr May's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 28 December 2024 (3 days).

DIDJASHOUTTHEBAR - Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out rule near the 1500m when this runner raced wider on the track after JAHI (H Orange) shifted outwards from the marker line. It was established that Mr Orange had commenced his outwards movement prior to DIDJASHOUTTHEBAR reaching his sulky wheel with no further action required. When questioned regarding the performance driver W House advised the gelding had proven difficult to steer at various stages and then disappointed when failing to run on. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormality.
