Our Fire And Ice Shortly after the start the cap came off the helmet of jockey J. Lloyd. This displaced jockey Lloyd’s goggles and as a result when racing behind other runners leaving the 700m, jockey Lloyd’s vision was impaired due to the kickback. He then attempted to adjust his goggles, which he was unable to do until approaching the 500m, which had an effect on his mount’s position as the filly lost ground during that period.
