Steward Comment

Slow to begin. Rider questioned re riding rounding home turn - stated leaving 500m reluctant to shift wider to follow Spirit Of Cherokee as he was concerned it was not going to take him into the race, given its racing manners during early and middle stages. Elected to follow Dramatic Moments into race and as a result held up on the heels of that runner in early stages of home straight. Added upon straightening positioned to inside of heels of Heza Good Boy and unable to avail himself for a run to outside of that runner without steadying and losing ground at that point. Explanation accepted.

Steward Comment

Rider questioned re performance - stated instructed to obtain a position with cover. Added when pace of race slackened passing 900m gelding commenced to overrace and continued to do so for some distance.Following which it failed to respond to his riding when placed under pressure leaving the 500m and proved disappointing. Of the opinion gelding’s racing manners in early stages contributed to disappointing performance. Vetted - no abnormalities.
