An information was filed following the running of race two, alleging a breach of the Pushout Rule, 869 (4), (6), (b), & (c). The defendant was Mrs S Fenning and the information stated that Mrs Fenning breached the pushout rule forcing , Bellam's Last Play , (B Hill) to race wider on the track when she improved outwards to three wide with approximately1300 meters to run.

--

Mrs Fenning admitted the breach and was not present at the hearing of this information.

Mr. Muirhead showed the video of this incident and this clearly showed Mrs Fenning coming out and forcing Bellam's Last Play to race wider on the track with about 1300 meters left to run in this race.
