5 J488  NORTHERN FIRE BALL  10/06/2026   773  NORTHERN FIRE BALL (J488) when questioned rider stated that her instructions were to go forward and lead from the outside barrier. She said in accordance with her instructions she rode her mount along in the early stages to obtain the lead. She said after entering the Back Straight leaving the 1000M her mount raced a little keenly which resulted in the early stages of the event being run inside of standard time. She added that after leaving the 600M she commenced to urge her mount forward to take advantage of the lead she had established, but soon after entering the Home Straight her mount came under pressure before giving ground. When questioned if there was an opportunity to ride the horse in a more conservative manner from the 600M rider agreed with the Stewards that she had placed her mount under pressure too soon and in the circumstances she should have given her mount the opportunity to race at a more sustainable pace in the middle stages. She was advised that as she continues to gain experience she would be expected to ride with better judgement than what she did on that occasion - Race 773.
