RED HOT SECRET When questioned by Stewards as to why he allowed his mount to lose contact with the field leaving the 800m, and as to why he did not attempt to improve outside SEQUASI leaving the 400m, Apprentice Keal advised that his instructions were to find a position on the fence and to wait until the cutaway as the horse only has a short sprint. Apprentice Keal added that when racing in a 3 wide position he elected to restrain his mount to find a position on the rail near the 800m, and to comply with instructions waited until the cutaway to allow his mount to sprint in the home straight.. Trainer K. Kemp subsequently confirmed those instructions.. Stewards advised Apprentice Keal that he should make more of an effort to stay in contact with the field in similar circumstances, and that there could have been an opportunity for him to improve outside SEQUASI leaving the 400m.. Stewards noted the explanations..
