MR PRESIDENT - broke when racing to the outside of CRACKLE N CRUNCH and inside of JACCKA EVAN near the 1700m losing ground. Stewards firstly reviewed and were satisfied that driver G Thornley (CRACKLE N CRUNCH) had commenced to shift ground outwards prior to MR PRESIDENT reaching her sulky wheel, accordingly no further action was required. Stewards then questioned drivers M Hill (MR PRESIDENT) and D Anderson (JACCKA EVAN) assisted by N Williamson and G Thornley assisted by S Ottley in relation to the incident where MR PRESIDENT broke near the 1700m. After speaking with all drivers it was established that after initially shifting outwards CRACKLE N CRUNCH had then hung outwards despite Miss Thornley's attempt to shift the gelding inwards. Stewards were satisfied no driver was found to be a fault and took the matter no further.

After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee upheld the protest and MAVIS JONES was relegated to 5th placing. Driver R May admitted an associated charge under Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly when shifting ground and after hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr May's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 4 May up to and including 14 May 2025 (4 days).
