Steward Comment

Stewards questioned apprentice B. Grylls regarding the riding tactics she adopted today, which was in contrast to the mare’s normal racing pattern.

Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the performance, which was below market expectation, jockey N. Day indicated that the horse travelled well until under pressure from the 600m and then commenced to hang out and failed to respond in the home straight. Trainer C. Anderson indicated that in light of today’s performance he would take the earmuffs off the mare for its next start and add blinkers back on, and to ride the horse a little more conservatively in future. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
