SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
 
QRIC OFFICES 21.7.17 – From Brisbane Racing Club Meeting at Eagle Farm 27 May 2017:
 
Mr Andrew Saunders pleaded guilty to a charge under Australian Rule of Racing 175A in that he did enter upon the racing surface of the Eagle Farm track during the running of Race 8 on Saturday 27 May 2017, which in the Stewards’ opinion amounted to conduct prejudicial to the image and interests of racing.
 
In assessing a penalty, Stewards acknowledged Mr Saunders’ sincere apology and the infringement notice, however Stewards were of the opinion that a significant penalty should be imposed so as to act as an appropriate deterrent to ensure like-minded individuals do not repeat these actions.
 
Mr Saunders was disqualified for a period of two years to commence from 11 July 2017 and to expire on 11 July 2019. Mr Saunders was advised of his right of appeal to the internal review.

After viewing the stewards’ patrol footage, J.

Stewards acknowledged that whilst there was a run to the inside of HINGUS ROSE shortly after entering the straight, they were not satisfied that UMBERTO had full purchase on that run, and after taking into account the shift by CALLIGRAPHER, they dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the Judge’s placings.
