Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the mares improved performance, trainer M. Dunn explained that at its last start, when racing in a forward position, it overraced, and on the recommendation of jockey Fradd he removed the cross-over nose band and winkers and added a tongue tie. He said that he instructed the rider to attempt to settle the mare off the speed with cover, which he believed would allow the mare to finish the race off. Stewards advised Mr Dunn that if it was his intention to change the tactics which had been adopted at recent starts, he was obliged under the rules of racing to notify stew

Began awkwardly and then was bumped shortly after the start. Raced three wide with cover. Overraced in the early stages. Had a tendency to lay in under pressure over the final 100m, causing its rider to stop riding on a number of occasions.

J. Orman indicated that it was his intention to lead, however when runners improved to his inside approaching the first turn he was obliged to race wide without cover.

Held up rounding the home turn. After travelling in a reasonable position just off the speed the horse failed to respond over the final stages and proved disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.

Steward Comment

After racing on the speed in the early and middle stages the horse tired over the concluding stages. When asked to comment on the performance, apprentice A. Sewell was unable to offer any tangible explanation. A post-race veterinary examination revealed that the horse had a mild respiratory infection. Trainer L. Birchley was advised that he must produce a veterinary clearance for the horse prior to it racing again.
