Stewards questioned Apprentice M. Murphy in the presence of Jockey Advocate S. Scriven over his riding of TANA CENTURY, in particular between the 600m and 200m where TANA CENTURY raced extremely wide and at the rear of the field. Apprentice Murphy stated that it was his opinion that the going was better out wider on the track and therefore elected to race wide at that point. App Murphy agreed with stewards that in hindsight he would have been better to obtain a position closer to the rail at that stage of the race saving as much ground as possible.
