Free to post and covered 2m of all-weather track, held up but pulled way through to lead after 1st, made rest, joined 2 out, shaken up and asserting when awkward last, ridden out flat (mare took keen hold on way to post and cantered a circuit of the track before rider was able to pull mare up. vet deemed mare fit to race) (op 4/9 tchd 4/11)
Well in touch until blundered 3 out (usual 4 out), never on terms after but lost little ground from 2 out (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to jump and make the running, and to ride gelding to get the best possible position on the ground. he added that due to the front pair running keenly, he was unable to make the running but stated that the gelding traveled well in behind runners. he explained that gelding had made a mistake at the third last hurdle, at which point he felt the gelding getting tired and he thought he might not finish the race. however, after taking a breather down the hill, gelding then plugged on at the one pace. trainer's representative confirmed the instructions and stated she was happy with the ride given) (tchd 66/1)
last hurdle before home straight omitted; ground conditions
