Held up rounding home turn

Steward Comment

Slow to being. Near the 1600m bumped by WHATAWALTZ and became unbalanced

Steward Comment

Steadied near the 1600m and again near the 1500m when awkwardly placed at the heels of HEART STEALER which shifted in. When questioned regarding the performance, Jockey J Taylor stated that despite suffering interference in the early stages the gelding travelled comfortably throughout and commenced to improve into the race as expected passing the 500m. However, the gelding peaked on its run leaving the 300m and in his opinion was disappointing. Jockey Taylor was of the opinion that the gelding may have come to the end of its preparation. Trainer confirmed gelding will be spelled.

When questioned regarding the performance, App. J Guthmann-Chester stated that he was obliged to ride the mare vigorously in the early stages in an effort to take up its customary forward position. App. Guthmann-Chester stated that the mare commenced to hang out rounding the first turn near the 1500m and continued to do so for the reminder of the event. Trainer B Baldwin was advised that the mare must trial to the satisfaction of stewards prior to racing again. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any apparent abnormalities at the time of examination

Near the 1600m tightened for room and made contact with MA RAISON. Near the 1500m steadied and lost ground when tightened for room between MA RAISON and BINARY which was taken in by HEART STEALER A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have suffered a bleeding attack
