br g Soldier Of Fortune (IRE) - Littlegrace Lady (IRE) (Definite Article)
Took keen hold, held up in rear, headway before 3 out, shaken up and outpaced 2 out, ridden briefly and went fourth run-in, not pace to challenge (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to ride gelding behind the leaders and to get gelding jumping on what was his second run over hurdles; he reported that gelding has respiratory issues and that this is why he has worn a tongue tie on all of his racecourse experiences; his intention therefore, following two disappointing runs, was to ride gelding to finish his race, and in doing so, obtain best possible placing; he continued that gelding was racing flat out throughout and that he had begun to ask for an effort on turning in, whilst still being mindful of gelding's respiratory issues; taking both this and gelding's inexperience into account, he explained that whilst he was riding with considerable effort up home straight, he was able to be more vigorous having jumped the last, where gelding continued at same pace, passing one weakening horse in process but without gaining on any of the front three; he finished by reporting that although gelding made a respiratory noise, he was very satisfied with performance considering his two most recent runs; trainer confirmed instructions and reiterated his satisfaction with run which gave them something to build on moving forwards; their explanations were noted; jockey said gelding made a respiratory noise) (tchd 50/1)
