Steward Comment

Trainer B. Lockwood advised that the gelding would be ridden in a forward position if circumstances permit. Proved very difficult to load. Trainer B. Lockwood was advised that the gelding would be required to trial to the satisfaction of stewards prior to racing again. After being moderately away from the wide barrier the horse raced in a rearward position. Inclined to lay in when attempting to shift wider on the track passing the 300m and became awkwardly placed at the heels of SAWTELL. B. Stewart was reprimanded for excessive use of the whip prior to the 100m.

Steward Comment

Trainer M. Costa advised that from the good barrier it would be the intention to have the gelding ridden in a forward position. Jockey M. McGillivray explained that it was his intention to ride the gelding forward as instructed but was unable to muster sufficient speed to do so and after being crossed by runners drawn to his outside, the gelding settled further back than he would have preferred. He added that when placed under pressure after passing the 600m the gelding failed to respond and proved disappointing.

Began awkwardly and shifted out. After racing in a prominent positon prior to the home turn the mare commenced to weaken passing the 400m and finished a distant last. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.
