| 2 | G465 | FORERUNNER | 14/09/2025 | 23 | FORERUNNER (G465) when questioned rider stated that the instructions were to hold a midfield position but it was important that he obtained cover. He said shortly after the start when positioned to the outside and in advance of a runner, he was of the opinion that runner would continue to obtain a more forward position. He said when that runner did not continue forward he was concerned that he would be obliged to race wide and without cover and for that reason he elected to ease his mount to follow that runner to avoid covering additional ground. He added that as a consequence of that his mount raced further back in the field than what he had been instructed. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 023. |
