On inquiry apprentice I Luximon (MACKINAW), in the presence of trainer W Savage, pleaded guilty to a charge under AR131(a) of engaging in careless riding. The specifics were that whilst riding his mount along he permitted his mount to shift inwards when insufficiently clear approaching the 250m, resulting in QUALIS (D Gillett) being tightened for room along the rails and having to restrain her mount for a prolonged period, losing her position.
Apprentice Luximon had his license to ride in races suspended for 1 NT race meeting to expire after 26 August, 2022. Apprentice Luximon was advised of his right of appeal.
