SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
From Mackay 17 June 2021 – Race 8.
Stewards concluded an inquiry into the use of whip on PRINCESS RULES by apprentice Cody Collis in race 8 at the Mackay Turf Club. After hearing submissions from Trainer F Smith, master of Apprentice Collis, Apprentice Collis was issued with a charge under AR132(7)(a)(ii) in that he used his whip on 8 occasions prior to the 100m, 3 more than permitted. Apprentice Collis had his license to ride in races suspended for a period of 28 days to commence midnight 26 June 2021 to conclude midnight 24 July 2021.
