Foley banned but keeps race aboard Moonlit Sun

The Jessica Harrington-trained filly was short of room a furlong out, but Foley switched his mount, bumping the eventual runner-up White Sand Beach. 

At the stewards’ enquiry, Foley was adjudged to be in breach of Rule 214 and received a nine-day suspension because it was his second offence of improper riding. 

The 9-4 favourite Moonlit Sun, who won by a comfortable length in the end, was allowed to keep the race.
