RECORDING TO WIN (B Davis) – When questioned regarding the unplaced performance rider advised that he had ridden his mount along to take up a forward position but when unable to cross he was consequently forced to race wide in the back straight and the mare was then under pressure from the 600m. A post race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
