Fradd stated that his mount was under pressure at the entrance to the straight and did not quicken as he would have expected and was inclined to lay in. He added that passing the 200m, as he did not believe there was sufficient room to improve between PUNTA NORTE and SHEISWHATSHEIS, he elected to come to the outside of the heels of PUNTA NORTE, however the mare was reluctant to shift out and as a result he attempted to improve back to the inside of PUNTA NORTE, but OUTRAGED had improved quickly to his inside and taken that run.
