ANGUS FINN - locked wheels with the weakening ROCK N ROLL DON near the 300m losing all chance. Driver S Kelly reported he had sustained a punctured sulky tyre. Stewards questioned drivers S Kelly (ANGUS FINN) and N Williamson (COLD PURSUIT) which was racing to his outside, regarding this incident. After considering the explanation of both drivers Mr Kelly was issued a charge under Rule 869(3)(b), which he defended, alleging that he drove carelessly when taking a run where insufficient room existed. After viewing replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and suspended Mr Kelly's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 22 November 2024 (2 days).
