1 H175  CHIU CHOW SPIRIT  22/09/2024   43  CHIU CHOW SPIRIT (H175) noted to have blood in its mouth on arrival at the Start, was examined by the Vet and passed suitable to race. After the event, rider stated that the instructions were to find cover. He said approaching the first turn when he felt the pace of the event eased, he elected to allow his mount to stride forward which resulted in it racing wide and without cover from the 800M. He added in the Home Straight his mount finished the race off only fairly which he attributed to the horse not appreciating the "Good to Yielding" track conditions. After considering his explanation and the sectional times of the event, the Stewards found the tactics adopted were reasonable in the circumstances. Was found to be a “roarer” which had previously been reported – Race 043.
