Close up early, tracked leaders after 2f, pushed along 3f out, ridden under 2f out, weakened from over 1f out (jockey said colt lost right hind shoe) (op 15/2)
Slowly away, never better than mid-division, weakened quickly from over 2f out (stewards inquired into running and riding; the rider was interviewed and shown recordings of the race and the vet reported that a post-race examination of the colt failed to reveal any abnormalities; the rider explained that the colt was keen to post and he was therefore eager to get him dropped in throughout the early stages of the race; he added that he became outpaced from halfway, at which point the colt started hanging left down the hill; he further added that due to the colt hanging, he felt that he was unable to ride out as vigorously in the latter stages as he would have wanted; his explanation was noted) (op 200/1 tchd 300/1)
