b m Midnight Legend - Fortunes Course (IRE) (Crash Course)
In rear, headway and 5th 2 out, soon shaken up, 12 lengths down last, finished well (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his orders were to settle the mare in midfield, behind the leaders, and ride a race, the strong pace meant that he was further back than he wanted and it didn't jump or travel well, it was flat out over the last mile and tried to creep into the race but, after making a mistake in back straight, he felt it prudent to hold it together before asking for an effort from the second last.)
