Steward Comment

Began awkwardly. Upon returning to scale, Jockey Griffin reported that the gelding over-raced for the majority of the event and as a consequence had to be steadied from heels on a number occasions in the early stages before shifting out near the 1000m from which point it raced 3 wide.

Unable to secure cover behind LEGSMAN as a result of BARGE AND CHARGE over-racing and was obliged to race wide without cover for the majority of event. Passing 500m obliged to race in restricted room.

Connections advised that the mare would be ridden further back in the field today – Unable to be restrained despite the efforts of its rider in the early stages and as a consequence led. Over-raced during the early and middle stages.
