LA BAMBA - lay out in the score up and was out of position at the start. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. When questioned regarding the improved performance trainer/driver R Austin advised the gelding had worked well in the lead up and received a run to suit today. Mr Austin admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion in the run home. After viewing replays and considering submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of Mr Austin's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 6 January up to and including 26 January 2025 (2 days).
