ch g Mastercraftsman (IRE) - Lyin Eyes (Equiano)
Held up in rear, not clear run over 1f out, no impression (jockey was questioned regarding his riding of gelding over final 2f after reporting at scales that he had been denied a clear run in home straight; jockey was questioned specifically as to why he had appeared not to make greater effort to improve his position and obtain a run that existed between rivals for some distance approaching final furlong; in explaining his riding jockey indicated that due to his positioning down the inner at rear of field, he had made the decision from leaving back straight to ride for luck and search for inside runs rather than potentially be forced extremely wide when mounting his challenge; he continued by saying that he wanted to be certain that the run which presented itself shortly after straightening for home remained open as he was conscious that a rival in front of him had set a solid pace and was giving ground, whilst that rival was also under pressure to his outside and his rider had whip in his right-hand; for this reason he had been reluctant to fully commit gelding into a gap which in all likelihood would close; however he was nudging gelding along and keeping the revs up at same time before, as he had anticipated passing 1f marker, gelding was denied a clear run between rivals and had to check off heels; he added that there were two factors behind his thinking in not committing for what he considered to be a low percentage gap, firstly that gelding was dropping back in trip and is not known for having a turn of acceleration and secondly that he had suffered a very heavy fall on the all-weather in October 2024 and considered that by putting gelding into a narrowing gap, which it would not have the pace to necessarily quicken through before it closed, would present a heightened opportunity for him to suffer serious interference) (op 7/2 tchd 10/3 and tchd 9/2)
