Jumped with its head in the air. Laid in under pressure over the final 200m resulting in App. Wheeler having to stop riding and straighten on a number of occasions. App. B Wheeler reported that it was his intention to settle in the first 3 runners however as a result of beginning only fairly he was obliged to settle a pair further back in the field than he had anticipated.

Steward Comment

Knuckled on jumping before shifting out abruptly making heavy contact with REBEL NEWS. In this incident jockey Huxtable became severely unbalanced and was almost dislodged. Further Jockey Huxtable lost the use of both stirrups resulting in the gelding taking not competitive part in the event.
