Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the gelding leading today, Jockey said that the gelding was stepping up in distance and he was instructed to take up a forward position if circumstance allowed, as the gelding has a tendency to miss the kick. He stated that after beginning particularly well and when there was no speed in the early stages, he allowed his mount to stride forward, where it assumed the lead comfortably. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued, however was reminded of his obligation to inform stewards of any change in tactics.

Rounding the turn near the 950m when the pace slowed had to be checked and lost ground.

Passing the 900 metres had to be steadied when racing tight to the inside of another runner.

Steward Comment

Rounding the turn near the 950m when the pace slowed had to be checked and lost ground. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of the gelding Apprentice said that his mount was standing awkwardly in the barriers and after beginning only fairly he had to ride the gelding along to take up a forward position to comply with his instructions. However, he added that he was hampered near the 950 metres and placed his mount under pressure from the 600 metres, where it failed to respond and was disappointing.
