1 K205  MASSIVE GLORY  28/10/2026   144  MASSIVE GLORY (K205) rider stated that she was instructed to endeavour to obtain a midfield position with cover if possible. She said from her wide barrier she endeavoured to comply with her instructions, however, when unable to obtain cover she was then left racing wide and without cover for the remainder of the event. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 144.
2 J463  STAR BROSE  19/10/2026   108  STAR BROSE (J463) when questioned regarding his riding on the Home Turn rider stated that after shifting out near the 500M his intention was to follow a runner, a last start winner, or alternatively follow another runner into the race. He said for that reason he continued to shift out with a view to obtaining clear running. He said as he did so a third runner shifted out which presented a run to his inside, however, he was of the opinion his best option was to continue to follow the fancied runners into the race, particularly as the early stages had been run inside of standard time and he was concerned the leaders would commence to give ground. He said after following that last start winner from the 500M that runner did not improve as he had anticipated and for that reason he shifted to its inside to follow the second runner. He said when that runner did not improve sufficiently in the early stages of the Home Straight to provide him with clear running that resulted in his mount being held up for clear running between the 450M and the 200M where he was able to improve between those two runners - Race 108.
