Gotta Zip  | Stewards questioned apprentice B. Grylls regarding her riding of the horse from the 1000m, at which point she had shifted wider on the track and improved around the field until assuming the position outside the lead passing the 700m. Stewards had concerns that this may have had a detrimental effect on the horse's overall performance. Miss Grylls explained that when the pace slackened at this point rather than fight GOTTA ZIP, which had commenced to overrace, she shifted wider and improved. She indicated that she had anticipated obtaining a position outside the lead more easily than she did.  | Sunshine Coast  | 2/03/2016  | |
