Berlinetta Began Awkwardly Murwillumbah 16/08/2016
Mansale Rider questioned re tactics in setting fast tempo - rider stated instructed to obtain forward position which she was able to with relative ease in early stages. When EXCITEMENT LEVELS commenced to over race to her outside she was reluctant to overly restrain her mount as she was of the opinion that this would cause it to over race and be detrimental to her chances. As a consequence she allowed it to stride along but noted it was under pressure leaving the 1000m. Stewards advised rider she had erred in not making a greater effort to restrain her mount during the early stages. Gold Coast 13/08/2016
