Approaching the 300m, tightened for room when racing to the inside of IRONSIDE, which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider.

Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the performance, jockey J Byrne stated that the horse had raced keenly last start and the stable had therefore removed the blinkers from the horse’s gear. He added that the horse travelled comfortably throughout today’s event, however failed to quicken in the home straight when asked for a finishing effort. Trainer D Vandyke advised Stewards that he was somewhat disappointed with the geldings finishing effort and would monitor the horse in the coming days.

Slow to begin. Improved onto heels near the 1200m and had to be steadied.
