SPANISH GARDEN – When asked to comment on the performance, jockey M. Cahill reported that he had been instructed to make a run wider on the track around horses if possible, which he attempted to fulfil after passing the 600m.

He added that the mare did work to the line fairly however he was nevertheless disappointed with the performance.

ELLE THE MODEL – Stewards questioned jockey A. Spinks regarding the tactics he adopted on his mount in sitting outside the lead in today’s event which was in contrast to the horse’s established racing pattern. He indicated that the horse was inclined to overrace in the early stages and as there was a distinct lack of pace in the race he was unable to fulfil his instructions which was to ride the horse in the second half of the field. Jockey Spinks therefore elected to allow his mount to stride forward to secure a position closer to the fence. He also added that in hindsight riding the horse in this fashion did have a detrimental effect on the overall performance.
