Steward Comment

Near the 800 metres bumped with another runner. Approaching the 600 metres when racing keenly had to be steadied when racing tight to the inside of another runner.

Steward Comment

The start was delayed when the gelding had to be re-saddled behind the barriers. On returning to scale Jockey reported that after racing wide throughout the gelding laid in down the running, placing him at a severe disadvantage in riding his mount out. The racing manners of the gelding were brought to the attention of trainer, who undertook to experiment with the horse’s gear. He also expressed his disappointment with the performance and said that he would report back to the stewards in the days subsequent to the event.
