When questioned rider stated that the horse travelled satisfactorily during the race and he was comfortable with the early and middle stages being run inside of standard time as the horse had performed well when it won over 2400M previously on a strong pace. He added his mount came under pressure prior to entering the Home Straight and did not respond to his riding and was disappointing. He said after the event the horse appeared to pull up satisfactorily. Assistant Trainer stated that the horse had pleased the stable coming into the race and he could offer no explanation for its performance.

4 E058  BEAUTY JOY  01/03/2026   481  BEAUTY JOY (E058) when questioned rider stated that from barrier 2 and when the connections were of the opinion there was not strong pace in the event he was given the option to lead if his mount jumped well. He said as a result when his mount commenced well he elected to allow the horse to stride forward and lead the event. He added that his mount raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages and as a result ran inside of standard time despite his efforts to set a more sustainable pace. He said due to the manner the horse raced throughout the early and middle stages it did not respond to his riding in the Home Straight. Trainer confirmed that he had given rider the option to go forward. He said he issued those instructions as the horse has been finishing its races off only fairly due to racing keenly in the early stages when settling back in the field - Race 481.

7 K021  CAP FERRAT  09/11/2025   166  CAP FERRAT (K021) when questioned rider stated that the intention was to hold a midfield position. He said in the early stages from barrier 12 he was caught wide when a number of runners to his inside held their position. He said when there was no opportunity to obtain cover he continued forward on his mount to race outside the lead to avoid covering additional ground. He added that from the 600M he became concerned there may be something amiss with his mount and for that reason making the Home Turn he retired it from the event. After the race was examined by the vet who found that horse to have bled from both nostrils and also to be displaying an irregular heart rhythm. Has since performed to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and passed an official vet exam - Race 166.
8 J256  MY WISH  01/03/2026   481  MY WISH (J256) when questioned rider stated that he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages to ensure that it ran out a strong 2000M. He added whilst he had expected to settle back in the field he had not anticipated the race being run inside of standard time in the early and middle stages. He said near the 500M he commenced to shift to the outside of a runner, however, when that runner shifted out at the same point he then elected to save ground and improve to the inside of that runner near the 450M whereby his mount responded well to his riding. He said after making good ground between the 400M and the 150M the horse’s run ended which he attributed to the early and middle stages of the race being run inside of standard time. Trainer confirmed the instructions and stated he issued those instructions to allow the horse to run out a strong 2000M - Race 481.
