Dwelt and in rear, headway over 2f out, chased leading pair entering final furlong, soon ridden, stayed on well towards finish (the jockey said, regarding the running and riding of the gelding, that his instructions were to drop the gelding in as its recent front-running tactics had failed to produce a win and to coax it into the race; jockey said gelding jumped awkwardly and didn't face the kickback in the back straight, but he kept nudging the gelding along to maintain contact at the rear of the field; jockey added that he was happy with the gelding's position entering the home straight as he was following the eventual winner, but didn't want to produce the gelding too soon for fear it would not go through with its run; jockey also added that when he asked the gelding to go between horses shortly before the line, he felt the gelding's head come back and begin to hang left-handed, possibly away from the winner's whip; trainer said he was satisfied that the ride accorded with his instructions, adding they were most likely to continue with the waiting tactics; their explanations were noted) (tchd 9/2)
