Day was asked to comment on the performance of the horse. He indicated the horse did prove somewhat difficult to ride in the straight and was disappointing in the run to the line.   Trainer M.

PARIS CRYSTAL – Slow to begin and was slow into stride.

He added however that PARIS CRYSTAL finished off well and was doing its best work over the concluding stages. He therefore recommended to connections to step the mare  up over more ground.
