Following a continued hearing into the running of Number One Gun on the Kensington Track on the 20^th of December, stewards took action in suspending Glyn Schofield for five weeks; on the grounds he did not give his mount full opportunity to win the race.

His suspension will commence on Sunday 12^th January and will expire on Sunday 16^th of February, on which day he will be permitted to ride.

In assessing the penalty, Stewards took into account that he had not previously offended under the rule in 30 years of race riding, and that the penalty had been suitably discounted to recognise his unblemished record with regard to the offence.

In addition stewards took into account that the dates would encompass Group races at the start of the Sydney Autumn Carnival.

Glyn Schofield has since lodged an appeal and has been granted a stay of proceedings until the date of the appeal which is yet to be set.
