When questioned regarding the manner in which MALTESE PAPIA was ridden today M. TRAECEY explained that he was instructed to ride his mount back in the race owing to his wide barrier draw. He said that in the early stages his mount had a tendency to hang out therefore, was unable to put his mount under any pressure and that the horse was reluctant to race any closer than three to four horses away from the inside fence. He said that leaving the 500 metres he commenced to put his mount under pressure however, for a major part of the home straight he was unable to improve when held up for clear running. Trainer J. McCarter confirmed the instructions and indicated that the gelding would be better suited over races of a longer distance in accordance with its breeding. He also indicated that he would suggest to the owners that MALTESE PAPIA would now be sent for a spell. A Veterinary examination of MALTESE PAPIA revealed no obvious abnormalities.
