Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the apparent improved performance co-trainer Daniel Guy stated with the blinkers off NIAB relaxed better over the longer distance of todays race and moving forward it would be the stables intention to continue to step the gelding up in distance.

Steward Comment

Rider J Byrne stated in his opinion the gelding would be better suited to races over a longer distance than today’s event and did not let down as expected when place under pressure. A post-race veterinary examination of ACCARDO revealed no abnormalities.

Steward Comment

Slow to begin. After being caught wide in the early stages, rider elected to progress forward and race outside the leader at the 1200 metres.
