Astarabad (USA) |
||||||||||
Not always fluent, raced keenly, always in rear, tailed off (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to get the mare to settle, as it is very keen, and do his best, it became very tired up the hill in the back straight and jumped poorly over the last three, he therefore felt it prudent to keep a good hold of its head; trainer confirmed instrcutions but felt more effort could have been made in the closing stages.) | ||||||||||
