Steward Comment

Apprentice S. Lacy reported it had not been the intention to lead, however in the early stages where she believed her mount would have been caught wide she elected to ride vigorously to stride forward to obtain a position closer to the fence. She also added her mount hung out in the home straight.

Steward Comment

Overraced and was checked from heels on a number of occasions after passing the 1200m due to the slow pace which was being set at the time. From the 600m after improving on to heels again was shifted wider and ridden forward.

When the pace being set in the early stages was very slow, jockey R. Wiggins elected to shift wider on the track and improved forward to obtain the lead passing the 900m.

Steward Comment

Change of tactics. Connections advised it was intended to obtain cover in the second half of the field as the gelding has previously had a tendency to overrace when ridden forward. The horse was ridden accordingly. Slow into stride.

Steward Comment

Weakened badly from the 600m and failed to complete the course. A post race veterinary examination found the horse had been significantly galloped on on the near hind leg and was suffering from cardiac arrhythmia. Connections were advised that a veterinary clearance must be obtained, including an ECG, and the horse must trial satisfactorily in an official trial prior to its next race start.
