Steward Comment

Shifted the off-fore plate in the enclosure and required farrier attention on arrival at the barriers. Vetted. Raced keenly in the middle stages. Held up for clear run approaching and round home turn. Near the 250m shifted in abruptly and became unbalanced. Rdr reported breastplate broke during event, with saddle slipping back and being placing at a disadvantage.

Steward Comment

Over raced in the early and middle stages. When asked about performance, Rdr advised when placed under pressure from the 700m, mount failed to respond to riding and proved disappointing. A post-race vet exam revealed no abs.
