Steward Comment

After passing the 1300m, the gelding was initially restrained by its rider when in the trailing position, and then shortly after was crossed by ABOVE THE SKY. Shifted 3 wide to improve approaching the 1100m before obtaining the lead passing the 800m. Stewards questioned Apprentice A. Patis regarding the tactics adopted. Refer full report.

Steward Comment

Commenced to weaken after passing the 400m and finished in a rearward position. Jockey T. Gray advised that the gelding may have got its tongue over the bit during the race. Trainer J. Perry advised that in light of the performance, he may experiment with the addition of a tongue-tie to the horse’s gear for its next start.
