COUNT LANDECK - raced three wide without cover throughout. Forced four and five wide rounding the final turn. Driver M Northcott was questioned in relation to the tactics she adopted during the middle stages when electing to remain three wide rather than restrain to the rear of the field to obtain a position closer to the markers. Miss Northcott subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge under rule 868(2) in that she failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures during the middle stages to ensure that her horse was given full opportunity to win or obtain the best possible finishing position. After hearing submissions on penalty the JCA suspended Miss Northcott's Amateur driver's licence upto and including 17 September 2020 along with a $500 fine being imposed.
CLIFTON FLUTTER - raced four then three wide early before being improved to the lead passing the 1600m. Shifted out passing the 750m forcing an outside runner wider on the track and presented the trailing MARIANNA BROMAC with an inside run. Driver A Temu, assisted by T Macfarlane, defended an associated charge under Rule 869(3)(b) on the grounds that she drove carelessly in this incident. The JCA upheld the charge and after hearing submissions on penalty suspended Mrs Temu's Amateur driver's licence upto and including 29 May 2020 along with a fine of $200 being imposed.
