Lyrical Prince Trainer G. Doughty was questioned regarding a perceived improvement in the gelding’s performance today. Mr Doughty advised that the horse had trialled impressively leading into its first run this preparation at Sunshine Coast where, after beginning reasonably, the horse was then obliged to race three wide throughout. Mr Doughty added that he felt the horse would have a preference for the yielding surface at Ipswich and indicated that the horse has performed best previously when able to lead or be handy. Stewards, after reviewing the recent performance of the horse, noted Mr Doughty’s comments. Ipswich 10/08/2018
New Horizons Stewards interviewed jockey T. Harrison regarding the tactics adopted as the horse sat outside the lead in today’s event, which was in contrast to the horse’s established racing pattern when trained by a different stable. Jockey Harrison indicated that during this preparation when trained by the Chris Meagher stable she had ridden the horse in 2 jumpouts and it had shown early gate speed and led, and as such fully expected the horse to race in a forward position today. The explanation was accepted. Sunshine Coast 05/08/2018
