I. Coombes the rider of FROZEN TIME reported that his mount put in a couple of rough strides rounding the home turn and did not feel comfortable in its action from that point onwards. A post race veterinary examination of the gelding did not reveal any significant abnormalities other than it having a small laceration to its near side fore consistent with it having struck itself during the race.
