b g Kayf Tara - Cool Spice (Karinga Bay)
Held up, pushed along in 7th 3 out, no impression on leaders before next where left moderate 4th, kept on one pace (trainer said, regarding the running and riding, that he instructed the rider to give his mount a chance early on as he had not run since May, get him jumping, creep into the race and don't knock him about as he had encountered training problems with his stifles. He added that his charge made a slight mistake at the fourth last fence and lost his chance which he failed to regain. The exit of three runners at the second last fence left him in fourth place and he ran on in the latter stages without looking like reaching third place. He felt that his charge would improve a little for todays run and he had a respectable blow post race. He expressed his satisfaction with the jockey; jockey confirmed the trainers instructions and added that he was in contention racing to the fourth last fence but having corrected him on the approach to it, he lost ground and with the front runners quickening at that point his own mount was flat footed and he just pushed him along from that point without hitting him. He added that his mount took a blow at the fourth last fence but galloped on in the closing stages without being able to pass the third placed horse. He felt that he rode to his strongest ability and within his riding instructions)
