Began awkwardly. Passing winning post on the first occasion, made the turn out of the home straight awkwardly and shifted out. Raced keen in the early and middle stages. Raced wide for the majority. Rdr reported after racing wide in the early and middle stages, the horse then was under pressure after hitting a flat spot near the 600m before responding to hard riding in home straight.

Rdr could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance. A post-race vet exam revealed a slow recovery.

Steward Comment

Rdr advised had concerns with horse’s action in the event and for this reason desisted from pressuring the horse from the 500m. A post-race vet exam revealed gelding to have the thumps and heat stress. Tnr advised gelding must Officially trial satisfactorily and would also require a vet clearance prior to racing again.
