He said with the pace of the event being run outside of standard time his mount raced keenly. He said in the Home Straight the horse responded only fairly to his riding and although disadvantaged by the slow early pace he was still disappointed with the horse’s performance. Trainer confirmed the instructions and agreed with the assessment offered by rider in respect to the performance of the horse. After the race was examined by the vet who said an endoscopic exam showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 781.

9 J114  GENEVA  27/09/2026   55  GENEVA (J114) shortly after the start was bumped. When questioned rider stated that he expected his mount to settle back in the field and he had been instructed to hold the horse for a final run as his mount possess a short sprint. He said after holding a rearward position, entering the Home Straight he encouraged the horse forward but did not apply full pressure having regard to his instructions. He said his decision to do so was also influenced by the fact that two runners had gone quickly in front and he expected those horses to give ground in the Home Straight. He added that when he approached the 300M he then placed his mount under full pressure following the favourite into the event before the horse finished the race off well over the concluding stages. Trainer confirmed the instructions, however, stated that, in his view, he would like to have seen the horse being placed under pressure sooner than it was on that occasion. After considering his explanation the Stewards advised rider that, in their opinion, he should have placed more pressure on the horse in the early stages of the Home Straight to improve his position, particularly having regard to the margin he was behind the leaders. He was further advised in future he would be expected to ride his mounts with better judgement than he did on that occasion - Race 055.
