Steward Comment

Stewards questioned M. Hellyer regarding the tactics he adopted in the event as HIDDEN GOLD led, which is in contrast to its established racing pattern. He indicated that it had been his intention to settle midfield just behind the lead if possible, however after beginning well he elected to attempt to sit outside SOL WITNESS, however when that horse was steadied leaving the 1200m he elected to allow his mount to stride forward, as he had been advised that the horse can overrace, and he established the lead near the 1000m. Stewards noted the explanation.

Steward Comment

J. Orman reported to stewards that he was disappointed with his mount’s overall performance as the horse had obtained a favourable position outside the lead and did not let down as expected in the home straight.

Steward Comment

Stewards questioned B. Grylls regarding the tactics she adopted in the middle stages when she steadied her mount after having secured the lead, which resulted in her being in a trailing position. She stated that approaching the 1200m she did not wish to have to pressure her horse to hold the lead when HIDDEN GOLD improved to her outside so she elected to steady and allow that runner to cross. She added that shortly thereafter RED CHANDELIER improved to a position inside her heels and she was obliged to settle in the position one off the fence. Stewards noted the explanation.
