Steward Comment

The start was delayed when the mare proved difficult to load. Jockey L Cheshire reported at scale that she noticed that its tongue was over the bit and that she recommended to connections to experiment with a tongue tie or a tongue control bit before the mare’s next start. She added further that this may have contributed to the mare not running out a strong 1400m today. Trainer E Forrester reported to Stewards that the mare had returned after the race with a laceration to the near side hip and also with its tongue over the bit.

Steward Comment

Fractious in the barriers. Jockey J Morris reported to Stewards that it was not his intention to settle as far forward, however, after beginning well he did not have to overly pressure his mount to obtain a forward position and therefore elected to race more forward than anticipated. He added that the mare was disappointing in the home straight.
