Stewards questioned trainer B. Baldwin regarding his instructions to apprentice J. Moon on ORNITHORHYNCHUS, which settled and raced some distance from the remainder of the field. Mr Baldwin stated that his instructions to apprentice Moon were not to bustle the gelding and allow it to race where it was comfortable. He added that in hindsight, apprentice moon may have overdone his instructions by allowing the horse to get further back than anticipated at the rear of the field. Mr Baldwin agreed with stewards that apprentice Moon’s riding was not up to the standard required for a provincial meeting and undertook to restrict his riding to country areas at this stage.
