LOVE YOU LUCY – Fractious in the gates prior to the start being effected. Passing the 600m raced greenly and had to be steadied away from heels. Checked outwards from the heels of TULLIO, which shifted out near the 350m. A post race veterinary examination revealed the filly had sustained lacerations to the near hind leg. Jockey J. Byrne (TULLIO) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of AR137(a) in that shortly after entering the home straight he shifted his mount outwards when insufficiently clear, thereby shifting into the rightful running of LOVE YOU LUCY, which had to check outwards and as a result HOLDIN’ MY OWN was inconvenienced and had to be checked. Jockey Byrne’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of ten (10) days to commence midnight 14 November 2018 and expire midnight 24 November 2018. In assessing penalty stewards took into account jockey Byrne’s guilty plea, good record, the degree of carelessness and degree of interference.
