Slowly away, lost many lengths start, tailed off (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to get settled early on and finish race off as strongly as possible; he explained that gelding was showing unruly tendencies prior to the load which were out of character and went on to explain that gelding was very slowly away and into stride; gelding failed to respond to his early urgings; failing to pick up bit or travel, becoming even further detached from other runners; he later stated that he felt it unnecessary to commit to a full drive or the use of whip as gelding was going as fast as he could under a loose rein and thought he would be unable to regain distance lost during early stages of race; trainer's rep stated that they were satisfied with ride considering gelding was very slowly away and into stride) (op 14/1)
