THE ORANGE ROUGHY - junior driver S Hill, who declined the assistance of a senior driver, admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly near the 300m when shifting ground inwards and contacting the sulky wheel of JUST LIKE JAGGER with the tyre puncturing as a consequence. After viewing replays and considering submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of Mr Hill's junior driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 1 March up to and including 11 March 2026 (4 days).

DYNASTY - checked and shortly after broke rounding the final bend hampering trailing runners losing all chance. Stewards questioned drivers J Cox (ULTIMATE CULLECT) and B Butt (DYNASTY) regarding this incident and after viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers it was established that both runners had shifted outwards simultaneously with ULTIMATE CULLECT then becoming awkwardly placed close to the sulky wheel of MHAI SURFER GIRL causing Mr Cox some difficulty.
