MING HOI GLORIOUS – Had to be checked over the final stages when tightened for room. Apprentice C. Frater-Hill, the rider of MENTAL AS ANYTHING, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that over the final stages she permitted her mount to shift in when not clear of PRETTY RICKY, which was taken inwards across the rightful running of MING HOI GLORIOUS, which had to be checked. Apprentice Frater-Hill’s licence to ride in races was suspended for 9 days, to commence at midnight on Saturday 24 November and expire at midnight on Monday 3 December 2018. In determining penalty, stewards took into account apprentice Frater-Hill’s good record and that the interference was in the low range.
