Baker stated that after she was required to steady the mare in the early stages, SHACKAMAXON relaxed more than she anticipated and after viewing the patrol footage agreed that she had erred in her judgement and in hindsight, should have pressured SHACKMAXON to hold her position midfield than allowing the mare to drift back to a trailing position in the middle stages.
