ABULL - held up early stages of the run home. Shifted ground abruptly near the 80m contacting and checking an inside runner. Broke over the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have a laceration to the left front leg which was treated. Connections were advised ABULL was stood down pending a veterinary clearance prior to resuming. Junior driver D Anderson, assisted by senior driver C Ferguson, admitted a charge that he drove carelessly in the incident near the 80m when allowing his runner to shift ground inwards checking an inside runner. After viewing replays and considering penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Anderson's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 17 July 2025, 4 days.
