Invercargill HRC - Thursday, 25th March 2021
Race 6 - MCKNIGHT & BROWN MOBILE PACE
Junior Driver M Hurrell (assisted by C Ferguson) defended a charge in that he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures between the 1600 metres and 1100 metres to ensure that his horse JODY DIREEN was given full opportunity to win or obtain the best possible finishing position. After hearing the evidence and viewing the films, the JCA found the charge proved and suspended Mr Hurrell's licence from the close of racing on 1 July up to and including 11 July 2021 (5 days).
