b g Yeats (IRE) - Can U Imagine (IRE) (Flemensfirth)
Held up in rear, some headway from 2 out, never dangerous (inquiry into running and riding of gelding, which raced towards the rear throughout before staying on steadily under a hands and heels ride in home straight to finish 9th of 15 runners, beaten 21 1/4l; rider and trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of race; vet examined gelding on two occasions post-race and reported no abnormalities; gelding was also selected for routine testing; jockey stated that his instructions were to drop in and settle gelding as he was inclined to be keen at home, get him jumping in a rhythm and to ride his mount to obtain best possible placing; he explained that gelding had settled and jumped well throughout race off a modest pace and, having asked him to close up leaving back straight and rounding final bend, he felt that even though he had been pushed wide, he was in a good position to make progress up home straight if gelding was good enough; he reaffirmed that gelding continued to jump well but was inconvenienced and slightly taken off his line when a rival veered right-handed in front of him approaching penultimate flight and thereafter gelding stayed on at one pace, passing only weakening horses; he continued by saying that gelding gave him the impression that a step up in distance may suit; trainer confirmed instructions and expressed his satisfaction with both ride and the way in which gelding had finished his race off on this occasion, given his two disappointing runs to date; he also agreed that gelding could get further in time if he continues to relax in his races, but the prospect of running over 2m again was still an option; their explanations were noted) (Mkt1: op 125/1 tchd 100/1; Mkt2 op 100/1)
