Steward Comment

After beginning only fairly from the wide barrier was ridden conservatively in the early stages and settled further back in the field than may have been expected. Laid out when racing keenly leaving the 900m and raced wide from then on.

Crowded and bumped near the 800m. Bumped approaching the 400m and was held up for clear running from the 400m until the 300m when shifted wider. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a minor laceration to the near-fore fetlock.

Steward Comment

Stewards acceded to a request from Trainer to allow the gelding to wear blinkers rather than visors. This was advertised by way of social media address and on course announcement. Began awkwardly and was slow into stride. Trainer advised the gelding would now likely be retired.

Steward Comment

Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. Rider advised that, in his opinion, his mount did not appreciate the firmer racing surface. Trainer advised that the stable were disappointed with the performance with the gelding working well leading into the event. Trainer advised further it would be the intention to have the gelding undergo a veterinary examination inclusive of an endoscopic examination in the coming days and undertook to advise should anything become apparent.
