Laid out near the 300m. Rdr advised desisted from pressuring the gelding in the home straight after he became concerned with its action. A post-race vet exam revealed lameness in the off foreleg. Tnr notified requires vet clearance prior to its next race start.

When asked to comment, Rdr advised the horse over-raced throughout and this had an effect on its overall performance. A post-race vet exam revealed a slow recovery.
