Steward Comment

Steadied for some distance when awkwardly placed at heels near the 600m. Apprentice Y Lewis was reprimanded for using her whip on more than 5 occasions prior to the 100m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be exhibiting signs of the thumps.

Steward Comment

Jockey N Callow reported that the gelding over raced during the early and middle stages which he felt resulted in it having a diminished finishing sprint over the concluding stages.

Steward Comment

Apprentice M Potgeiter was unable to offer any tangible explanation for the performance of the gelding, which drifted notably in betting other than it had a tendency to lay out throughout the event. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
