He added that the gelding raced keenly in the early stages, and as a result, had to sit in mid division in order to get the gelding to settle. He further added that he gave the gelding time to fill its lungs in the back straight, and that entering the home straight the gelding began to hang right, which prevented him from riding more vigorously and he felt it prudent to hold the gelding together to the finish line.
