| b m Milan - Lady Zephyr (IRE) (Toulon) | ||||||||||
| Held up in rear, went poor fourth run-in, never near to challenge (stewards inquired into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to be handily away, give mare plenty of room and try to get mare to run as well as she could; jockey explained that mare had been an expensive recruit for the yard but disappointed on both runs last season adding that mare has also had wind issues during training in preparation for this; jockey stated that mare settled well off a moderate pace and, after being a little big at the first hurdle, had jumped well for the majority of the race; he added that mare had made a respiratory noise going down the hill towards the end of the back straight and was outpaced when the tempo increased going down the side of the track into the home turn; jockey further explained that being mindful of the mare's previous wind issues and the fact she had repeatedly made respiratory noise's over the final half a circuit, he had wanted to keep a good hold of her head and help her through the heavy going on this occasion; jockey thought mare had stayed on to good effect through tired horses and only finished as close as she did because of the manner in which he had handled her, particularly in the home straight; jockey maintained that he had been constantly niggling and squeezing the mare forward in the home straight, predominantly through the use of his legs and knees, whilst trying to keep the bit up in mare's mouth so she didn't step at her hurdles and had also used the whip on three occasions; trainer's rep said she was unaware of the rider's instructions but expressed satisfaction with the ride; vet said 2 post-race examinations failed to reveal any abnormalities, other than a minor laceration to the left-foreleg) (op 13/2) | ||||||||||
