SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
 
Doomben 12/1/2022 Race 8:
 
Stewards today concluded an inquiry into the reasons for SUPER ONE SUSIE falling near the 300m and suffering a nearside shoulder injury, which resulted in the mare being euthanised on human grounds. Further evidence was taken from Apprentice Madeleine Wishart in the presence of her Master Kevin Kemp. Apprentice M Wishart was subsequently found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR131(a) in that as the rider of SUPER ONE SUSIE she rode in a careless manner after passing the 400m when no clear running was available, she rode with vigour in order to increase the temp of her mount when following PRIVATE CHEETAH, which resulted in SUPER ONE SUSIE improving onto the heels of that runner near the 300m, causing SUPER ONE SUSIE to clip the heels of PRIVATE CHEETAH, blunder and fall, causing ALL TOO DO, which was following, to be checked and retired from the event. Apprentice M Wishart’s license to ride in races was suspended for a period of 3 weeks to commence midnight 11/2/2022 and to conclude midnight 4/3/2022.
