14 J092  SKY HEART  24/03/2024   523  SKY HEART (J092) when questioned, rider stated that from a wide barrier he was given no specific instructions as to where to settle his mount. He said after his mount began well, he rode his mount forward in an endeavour to maintain his position but when a number of runners to his inside showed intent on holding a more forward position, he elected to come back and follow a runner. He added his decision to obtain cover was influenced by the fact that he would have had to make too much use of his mount to cross runners to his inside and that his mount was up in weight and in distance and that may have resulted in his mount left without a finishing effort. Rider further stated that after obtaining cover behind that runner, his mount travelled well, but disappointed in the Home Straight in that it failed to respond strongly to his riding when placed under pressure - Race 523.
