12 H151  E UNIVERSE  10/05/2025   663  E UNIVERSE (H151) jumped awkwardly, shifted in, made heavy contact with a runner and became unbalanced. When questioned rider stated that the instructions were not to make too much use of his mount in the early stages as his mount was stepping up to 1400M. He said in the early stages when positioned to the outside of two runners he was reluctant to continue to allow his mount to stride forward as he felt this would be contrary to the instructions. He said as a result his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event before giving ground in the Home Straight. Trainer confirmed the instructions but had hoped that the horse would be able to lead the event and agreed that the horse was disadvantaged by being obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. After considering rider's explanation and taking into account the times of the event which identified the race was run outside of standard time in the early stages, he was advised, in the opinion of the Stewards, he would have been better suited by allowing the horse to continue forward to avoid covering additional ground - Race 663.
