Tracked leading pair on inner, pushed along over 4f out, ridden along 3f out, soon driven and weakened well over 1f out (jockey said gelding had no more to give) (op 10/1)
Reared badly start and lost many lengths, always behind (jockey said the gelding reared as the gates opened and was very slowly away. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination revealed the gelding to have bled from the nose, which in his opinion may have been caused by hitting its head on the stalls.)
