General

Stewards inquired into an incident leaving the back straight on the first occasion where it appeared Dollarbill which was racing three wide at the time was taken wider briefly when Pablos Art shifted from the one out running line to improve forward. After taking evidence from drivers M.Crone and A. Richardson it was established that Dollarbill was proving difficult to restrain and Driver M. Crone elected to let the horse stride forward, Driver A. Richardson elected to shift wider to improve and his horse Pablos Art was slow to respond when shifted wider which resulted in Dollarbill having to be momentarily taken wider as Driver M.Crone was having difficulty in steading the Gelding. Driver A. Richardson was Reprimanded under AHR Rule 162 (www) for briefly hindering the forward progress of Dollarbill at that point of the event and reminded of his obligations under this rule going forward.  

Driver L. Weidemann was suspended from driving in races for a period of 14days under AHR Rule 156 (2) for utilizing her whip in an unapproved manner in accordance with QRIC penalty guidelines. The suspension will commence midnight 27th October 2024.
