| 1 | B374 | HAPPY TOUR | 27/01/2019 | 371 | HAPPY TOUR (B374) when questioned regarding the performance, rider stated that he rode his mount hard in the early stages in an attempt to lead as in the past it had not travelled well when required to race behind horses. He said, despite riding his mount aggressively, it did not show as much early speed as the two leaders and he was required to take a trailing position after the 900M. He said he rode his mount along in order to maintain its position, however, it did not travel well and he was required to ride it vigorously from the 600M. He said as his mount was not travelling well, he was unable to prevent the winner from improving around his mount near the 500M. He added at the entrance to the Straight his mount commenced to respond to his vigorous riding and that resulted in the horse improving towards heels. He said he was unable to shift out due to the winner being positioned outside his mount and that resulted in his mount being awkwardly placed close to heels. He said his mount’s momentum was consequently impeded and it was subsequently unable to regain that momentum. He said whilst his mount did not finish off the race strongly, in his opinion, given the circumstances of the race, he felt that the horse closed off satisfactorily - Race 371. |
