AVEROSS MAJESTY - weakened from the 400m. Stewards questioned driver D O'Connell regarding the manner in which he drove when contesting for the lead from the 1200m to the 700m before weakening. After considering his explanation, Stewards issued a charge under Rule 869(3)(g) alleging he drove in a manner capable of diminishing his chances of winning by continuing to challenge for the lead and failing to give his horse sufficient respite. Mr O'Connell defended the charge and after viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr O'Connell, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr O'Connell's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 29 May 2026 (6 days).
