Reared as stalls opened and rider unable to remove hood, very slowly away and lost any chance, pulled up soon after start (The Stewards held an enquiry to consider why the jockey had been slow to remove the blindfold resulting in his horse being slow to start. Having heard his evidence and viewed recordings of the start they noted his explanation that the gelding reared as the gates opened and he had been unable to remove the blindfold. He therefore decided it was in the geldings best interests to pull up as he was uncertain if he had been injured when rearing in the stalls.) (tchd 14/1)
Always towards rear and never on terms, ridden over 3f out, lost touch and eased over 2f out, pulled up 1f out, burst blood vessel (jockey said mare stopped quickly; trainer said mare had bled from nose)
