GENERAL
 
After being stood down by stewards on Saturday, 7 September, for failing to provide samples, jockeys D. Smith and M. McGillivray were permitted to resume riding in races, trials and track work following the receipt of results on Friday, 20 September, indicating that samples provided by them on Sunday, 8 September, were clear of prohibited substances.
 
As R. Maloney was to be overweight in Races 2 and 3, riding replacements were made as per the Stewards Race Day Summary. At a subsequent inquiry jockey Maloney pleaded guilty to a charge under AR190(3) of accepting rides when overweight. Jockey Maloney was fined $1000 and his licence to ride in races was suspended for 5 days, commencing midnight Sunday, 29 September, and expiring midnight Friday, 4 October 2019. In determining penalty, stewards took into account jockey Maloney’s recent frequent infringements of this rule.
 
As apprentice B. Nothdurft was not riding due to illness, riding replacements were made as per the Stewards Race Day Summary.
