10 K007  SPIRIT OF PEACE  08/01/2025   332  SPIRIT OF PEACE (K007) when questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight, rider stated that he was of the opinion that a runner was under pressure and for that reason he endeavoured to shift that runner out to obtain clear running to the outside of the 2nd placegetter. He said prior to commencing that move he was of the opinion that there was not clear running available between runners and that was his only option to obtain clear running when he made such decision. As a consequence his mount made contact with the aforementioned runner on a number of occasions and was badly held up behind the 2nd placegetter for some distance after the 200M. The Stewards found the tactics adopted by rider were reasonable in the circumstances - Race 332.
