He added that he had pushed his mount along passing the stands until turning down the back straight when he felt the gelding was being reluctant to race. He added that this had caused him to become detached from the other runners. He further stated that after the second last hurdle two of the runners in front of him began to weaken, at which point his mount picked up and stayed on to claim third place, in his opinion, running through tired horses) (op 9/2)
