SINAI SERMON - weakened early in the run home. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted during the running, driver C Dalgety advised that after obtaining cover in the early stages his horse had begun to over-race so he elected to improve forward near the 1500m in an attempt to obtain the lead. SINAI SERMON then commenced to lay inwards near the 1200m when attempting to cross the pace-making FLYING BIRD and consequently despite his efforts he had been unable to improve to that position. Mr Dalgety added that when he became aware that FLYING BIRD was under pressure near the 600m he felt his best option was to improve forward again in an attempt to cross to the marker line. After considering his explanation Stewards were satisfied Mr Dalgety's tactics were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.

AUNTIE DEB - hung inwards rounding the final bend and struck track markers then shifted into the passing lane when junior driver M Holbrough activated the removable deafeners and continued to race in the passing lane throughout the run home, resulting in the trailing MY FRIEND LOUIE being held up. Miss Holbrough, assisted by senior driver R May, admitted a charge under Rule 869(4) and the Passing Lane Regulations in that she allowed her runner to shift into the passing lane denying a trailing runner full access. After viewing replays and considering submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Miss Holbrough's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 9 March up to and including 15 March 2025, 3 days.
