General
As App. H Philips was to be overweight in race one and subsequently replaced, and unable to claim her full allowance in race three, she was fined the sum of $400 in total under AR92(12). In assessing penalty, Stewards took into account her recent poor record in this regard. Following the running of race three, App. Philips was examined by QAS paramedics and stood down from her remaining engagements, with riding changes as per the race day summary report. App. Philips was advised she would require a medical certificate prior to resuming race riding.
