MR ASCENDENCY (G227): Jumped only fairly. K C Leung (KEEFY) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 900 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of MR ASCENDENCY, resulting in MR ASCENDENCY being unnecessarily crowded and taken in onto MOMENTS IN TIME which was also unnecessarily crowded. Both MOMENTS IN TIME and MR ASCENDENCY became badly unbalanced as a result. After assessing the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 1 and having regard to his record, the Stewards determined the appropriate penalty to be a reprimand.
