Steward Comment

Buffeted between runners on jumping and lost ground. Performed poorly. Eased up over the concluding stages. Rider could offer no explanation for the gelding’s performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a poor post-race recovery. Trial to the satisfaction of stewards required prior to racing again.
