Steward Comment

Stewards questioned rider L. Tarrant and trainer S. Kendrick regarding the tactics adopted as the horse was positioned in the lead in today’s event, which was in contrast to the horse’s established racing pattern. L. Tarrant indicated that he had been given no specific instructions, however did pressure the horse out of the barriers and was not surprised to have the horse show speed today as it was racing for the first time in blinkers and therefore he was satisfied to allow the horse to stride forward to the lead. Trainer S. Kendrick agreed that he had not given specific instructions, however

Steward Comment

Connections advised that it would be the intention to have the horse ridden in a more forward position as the horse has not been performing well when ridden in the second half of the field. The horse began awkwardly and lost ground and as a result was ridden at the tail of the field. Overraced in the early and middle stages.
