1 J459  IRON LEGION  01/01/2026   303  IRON LEGION (J459) bumped on jumping and then shortly after the start was steadied when crowded. Crowded after travelling a short distance. When questioned rider stated that as the horse does not always begin well it can often settle further back in the field than instructed. He said when his mount jumped well he was able to hold a more forward position than it had at its previous race starts. He added that near the 1200M when a runner was steadied in front he became awkwardly placed close to that runner which resulted in his mount becoming unbalanced and blundering at that point - Race 303.
