3 E058  BEAUTY JOY  31/05/2025   722  BEAUTY JOY (E058) after the event rider stated that his mount was unable to make up any ground in the Home Straight after settling back in the field. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 722.
4 H452  ENSUED  25/05/2025   704  ENSUED (H452) shortly after the start was checked when crowded. When questioned regarding his riding rider stated that he had anticipated holding a handy position. He said after being checked at the start when crowded his mount settled further back in the field than intended. He said with the early stages of the event being run outside of standard time he elected to commence a forward move from the 1200M as his mount is a one-paced horse that requires momentum and he was confident with the horse’s ability to run out a strong 2400M. He added after improving to the outside of a runner near the 1100M that runner held its position to his inside and when his mount was unable to cross that he was obliged to race wide and without cover thereafter. When questioned if there was an opportunity to endeavour to obtain a position behind that runner when unable to cross that runner rider stated that as his mount requires momentum in its races he felt that was not in the best interests of the horse to ride it in that manner. After considering his explanation the Stewards found the tactics adopted by rider were reasonable in the circumstances - Race 704.
