6 J227  THE AZURE  28/01/2026   389  THE AZURE (J227) when questioned rider stated that his mount jumped only fairly and then shortly after was checked when crowded which resulted in his mount settling back in the field. He said making the Home Turn he was reluctant to make a wide run as he felt it would be difficult to make up ground due to the early and middle stages being run inside of standard time. He said as a result he elected to remain racing behind a runner and to shift to that runner’s inside where it obtained clear running approaching the 300M. He added in the Home Straight his mount lay in and near the 150M became awkwardly placed close to a runner when that runner shifted out slightly. He said after improving to the outside of that runner leaving the 50M he was obliged to steady and shift to the outside of another runner when that runner commenced to give ground. Finished 7th and rider was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ensure that he fully rides his mounts out to the finish of the race - Race 389.
