Shifted in whilst racing wide passing the winning post on the first occasion. Passing the 1400m attempted to shift in but when unable to obtain cover, forced wide in the early and middle stages to a point near the 1000m when the gelding was allowed to stride and obtain a leading position.

Steward Comment

Laid in under pressure over concluding stages. When asked re tactics settling further forward, Rdr stated given an open book to where mare could settle, bearing in mind the usual pattern is settling at the rear & a tendency to be slow to begin. Tnr confirmed instructs & surprised to see mare lead early as felt mare didn’t have early gate speed to obtain such a position. When considering matter, Stewards believed instructs provided to Rdr wasn’t consistent with exposed racing form. Tnr told obligated to advise Stewards of instructs that differ horses exposed racing form.

Momentarily tightened for room passing the winning post on the first occasion. When asked about performance, Rdr reported gelding raced well throughout however when asked for an effort near the 1000m, failed to let down as expected and proved disappointing. A post-race vet exam revealed a slow recovery and the thumps.
