1 J275  LUCY IN THE SKY  18/03/2026   533  LUCY IN THE SKY (J275) had difficulty obtaining clear running between the 200M and the 100M - Race 533.
2 L153  MIGHTY MASTS  15/03/2026   525  MIGHTY MASTS (L153) when questioned rider stated that from the outside barrier he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages and it was agreed that he was to endeavour to improve to the inside on the Home Turn as he felt it had been difficult to make up ground when making a wide run. He said the instructions to ride the horse in a conservative manner were also due to the fact that the horse had finished the race off only fairly at its last start when ridden in a forward position. He said in accordance with those instructions from the outside barrier he shifted the horse across behind runners where it settled at the tail of the field. He added after following a runner into the race he improved to the inside of that runner in accordance with the pre-race plan which resulted in him improving behind another runner. He said after obtaining clear running near the 350M he placed his mount under full pressure but his mount raced greenly and was inclined to shift ground. He said for that reason he was unable to use the whip on the horse as he was concerned had he done so it would have shifted additional ground and therefore he rode the horse vigorously hands and heels to the finish of the race. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued and expressed satisfaction with the manner in which rider had ridden the horse - Race 525.
