Steward Comment

On return to scale, jockey S. Bogenhuber advised that the gelding, which was having its first start over the distance today, was inclined to overrace during the early and middle stages which, in her opinion, was the reason for the horse failing to finish the race off as she expected over the concluding stages.

Steward Comment

Forced very wide on the track near the 1200m, and from that point was allowed to stride forward by its rider to obtain a position on the pace, which resulted in the gelding racing wide for the remainder of the event.

Steward Comment

On return to scale, jockey L. Tilley could offer no explanation for disappointing performance of the gelding, which weakened badly over the concluding stages of the event. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities.
