Shifted out approaching the winning post on the first occasion when not clear of DANISH HOMBRE, which was forced out and continued to be shifted wider on the track, resulting in CROCKETT’S MISTAKE, which was racing to the outside of DANISH HOMBRE, having to be checked and shift wider on the track to avoid that horse’s heels. Apprentice B. Ainsworth pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding in that she failed to make sufficient effort to prevent her mount shifting out at that point and her licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 6 meetings, to commence at midnight on Saturday, 9 May, and expire at midnight on Saturday, 23 May 2015. Of further concern to the stewards was apprentice Ainsworth’s lack of action to prevent her mount from shifting out and as such her riding will be referred to the Riders Advisory Panel for consideration.

Race 9: PSP VIDEO CLASS 1 H'CAP – 1400M

Correct weight was delayed when T. Treichel, the rider of 3rd placegetter VIMZIG, wished to view the film to ascertain whether he had grounds on which to lodge an objection against 2nd placegetter RISING LUCK. After viewing the film it was established that leaving the 200m VIMZIG was momentarily tightened for room between CHEEKYBOI and RISING LUCK, both of which shifted ground slightly, however bearing in mind the finishing margin jockey Treichel elected not to proceed with the objection and correct weight was declared on the Judge’s numbers.
