Steward Comment

When questioned regarding racing back in the field, Apprentice said that he had been instructed to ride the mare where he was comfortable. He said that after being bumped at the start and riding his mount along in the early stages when runners to his inside showed superior speed, he elected to restrain and take up a rearward position at the tail of the field. He added that his mount travelled comfortably thereafter and after being momentarily held up in the early part of the home straight he then worked to the line strongly.

Steward Comment

When questioned regarding his riding, Jockey said that after being buffeted between runners at the start, he rode his mount along. However, when he was of the view that he would be caught wide, he elected to restrain his mount and race at the tail of the field, where it travelled comfortably. He stated that he then elected to improve around the field from the 500 metres, however, in his opinion the filly responded only fairly in the home straight.
