Steward Comment

When questioned re riding of mare, Rdr stated from wide gate asked to be negative on mare, which was first up today and to build into the race from the top of the straight-added on heavy track, attempted to comply with instructions by working into the race prior to the 400m and pressure mare under hard riding from the 200m, at which point mare went to end of race well. Tnr confirmed instructions & whilst thought there was an opportunity to build into the race sooner, expressed overall satisfaction with ride.

Rdr reported gelding travelled comfortably during the race but did not let down as expected when placed under pressure in the home straight, adding gelding may be better suited in races over a longer distance. A post-race vet exam revealed the thumps.
