13 J039  ARMOUR WAR EAGLE  19/01/2025   362  ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) shifted in at the start and was bumped. In the early stages raced keenly and near the 1000M was checked to avoid a runner. Near the 150M was checked when improved into insufficient room. Shortly after strike heels, blundered and almost fell when improved into insufficient room. When questioned regarding his riding making the Home Turn and the reason he elected to improve to the inside of a runner, rider stated that at its previous race start his mount had improved down the outside and, in his opinion, its run ended as it was exposed too early in the Home Straight. He said the instructions were to endeavour to save the horse up for a run later in the Home Straight and if possible to make ground in between runners. He said as a result making the Home Turn he elected to improve to the inside of that runner but near the 350M became held up behind the eventual winner. He said as a result he was obliged to steady his mount until he improved into a narrow run to the inside of the eventual winner approaching the 200M. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued and stated that since he took over the training of the horse this season its best runs had been when ridden in this manner - Race 362.
