He explained that having got to the front towards the end of the back straight, the gelding started to stop quickly approaching the final fence and continued to do so on the run to the line. Jockey further added that due to the speed at which he was slowing, he felt it appropriate to put his whip down and to push the gelding hands and heels to the line, whereupon the two runners to his inside, who were finishing fast, were able to pass the gelding) (op 17/2 tchd 9/1)
