Steward Comment

Change of tactics. Connections advised that the horse would be ridden further back in the field if circumstances permit. The horse was ridden accordingly. When questioned regarding the seemingly improved performance, trainer J. Zielke explained that the gelding did not appreciate racing in full-cup blinkers and was better suited to wearing a visor. He added also that the dramatic step up in distance was a major contributing factor in the improved performance. The explanation was noted.

Shifted out near the 400m to improve and in doing so forced THE PINKERTON outwards, resulting in MAJESTIC SHADOW and GRAND WHISPER, being forced outwards.

Slow to begin. Had difficulty obtaining clear running in the home straight. Trainer D. Stoddart reported that the horse does not handle firm racing surfaces similar to that of todays. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.

Shortly after the start was severely tightened for room and clipped the heels of MAJESTIC SHADOW and blundered. Forced wider near the 400m. Rounding the home turn put in an awkward stride and became unbalanced.
