Dwelt start, towards rear, headway under 3f out, tenderly handled but kept on well inside final furlong, went fourth towards finish, not reach leaders, eyecatcher (inquiry into running and riding of gelding; jockey stated that his instructions were to settle gelding early, get him to relax as he had made a noise previously and to do his best from there; he added that gelding settled well but made a noise at the first bend and this continued throughout the race; he said he tried to quicken the pace from about halfway so it would not turn into a sprint in the closing stages and that gelding hung right in home straight but despite this, was ridden to the best of his ability; he concluded by stating that gelding was leg weary after the winning post and was dismounted and walked back in; he accepted that gelding took some time to pull up after the race and had continued galloping until after the mile start; when questioned why he did not pull gelding up during the race despite making such a noise, he stated that he was happy to continue because he had made a noise previously; trainer confirmed instructions given and confirmed that gelding had wind issues; he added that he was disappointed with the ride given and referred to it as "not pretty viewing" but when asked if he felt rider should have pulled his charge up, he stated that rider was correct not to pull gelding up and referred to him as being "only a low rated gelding"; on further questioning when asked if he felt gelding was prevented from running on his merits, he was satisfied that this had not occurred; vet said gelding was coughing post race but was otherwise post race normal; having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, stewards were satisfied that both trainer and rider were in breach of Rule 212A(i) in that both were involved in running and/or riding of a horse in a race, who deliberately or recklessly causes or permitted a horse to run other than on its merits; 90-day ban for gelding) (op 2/1)
