Sydney Mex 3 The big betting case centers on Harry Gladstone Whittle, disqualified by stewards for betting irregularities at Ashbury, and the Australian Jockey Club committee's decision to uphold the penalty after hearing on Friday and Monday.

The outcome preserves the initial disqualification and references ongoing scrutiny by racing bodies.
