3 J079  VIVA GRACIOUSNESS  07/10/2026   82  VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (J079) approaching the 300M was hampered when taken wider. When questioned rider stated that her instructions were to go forward and attempt to obtain a position near the lead. She said in the early stages she rode her mount along in accordance with her instructions, however, she was obliged to race in a position wide and without cover outside of a runner. She added that whilst she recognised that the early stages of the event were being run outside of standard time she was reluctant to continue forward as she had observed that runner, which was stepping up in distance, racing keenly and she was of the opinion she would not be able to cross that horse if she endeavoured to do so. She said whilst her mount was disadvantaged by being obliged to race wide and without cover throughout the event she felt that provided her mount with the best opportunity to finish the race off in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 082.
