Connections advised that from the inside barrier it would be the intention to have the horse ridden more forward. The horse settled back in the field.

Shifted in across heels near the 1300m, clipped heels and blundered. Steadied near the 500m when forced to race in restricted room. A post-race veterinary examination revealed lameness in the near foreleg. Trainer S. Mesken was advised that the horse will require a veterinary clearance prior to its next start.

Shifted to three wide without cover near the 800m. Laid in under pressure shortly after entering the home straight, causing its rider to stop riding and straighten. M. Hellyer was reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out to the end of the race.

Steward Comment

Raced with its head in the air when being restrained in the early stages. When asked to comment on the horse’s performance, J. Byrne indicated that at no stage did the horse travel comfortably, racing with its head in the air in the early stages and near the 850m, when following MOGUL, that horse shifted in and made contact with the running rail. He felt that this caused his mount to shy and lose ground and become very awkward in its action. He indicated that from that point onwards the horse did not respond to his riding and was very disappointing in the run to the line.

Steward Comment

B. Pengelly reported that he was disappointed with the horse’s performance. He said the horse offered very little in the home straight and weakened. Trainer B. Lockwood confirmed that the horse would be sent for a spell and reported that the horse had cast the near hind plate in running.
