Steward Comment

Change of tactics. Connections advised the horse would be ridden in a position worse than midfield from the wide alley. The horse was ridden accordingly. Began awkwardly. Shortly after the start put in an awkward stride, resulting in the jockey McGillivray becoming momentarily unbalanced. Laid in under pressure from the 400m onwards.

Steward Comment

Jockey R. Maloney was asked to explain the tactics adopted, which resulted in the horse being 3 wide before being pressured to improve to a position outside the lead near the 800m. He explained that he had been instructed to be positive from the barriers and obtain a forward position, and in the early stages he felt he would have opportunity to shift closer to the fence as he anticipated that ACEME would shift to the fence behind BEST FOOT FORWARD. However, when this did not occur he elected to restrain and attempt to secure a trailing position behind ACEME, adding when the field left the 1

Bumped and became awkward passing the 500m. Jockey R. Moloney, rider of ROAD STORM, was reprimanded for this incident when he allowed his mount to shift out when not sufficiently clear. Was obliged to steady when placed in restricted room when leaving the 400m.

The start was delayed when the bridle became displaced, resulting in the horse being removed from the barriers and that gear refitted. Restrained to avoid heels passing the 700m. A short distance later shifted out to again avoid heels.
