2 G346  MIGHTY STRIDE  03/11/2024   156  MIGHTY STRIDE (G346) shifted in at the start, bumped heavily with a runner and lost ground. When questioned, rider stated that after settling towards the rear of the field, with the early pace of the event being run inside of standard time, his mount travelled comfortably in that position. He said making the Home Turn when asked for an effort, he shifted his mount to the outside of the field, however, it responded only fairly and in the Home Straight lay in under pressure. He added that he was not entirely satisfied with the manner in which his mount responded to his riding and reported to connections that he had some concern with the manner in which the horse finished the race off. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 156.

Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out to the finish when improving close to a runner - Race 192.

10 J039  ARMOUR WAR EAGLE  24/11/2024   211  ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) when questioned, rider stated that the instructions were to endeavour to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages with cover. He said after travelling a short distance he attempted to restrain his mount to comply with the instructions, however, his mount raced keenly and as a result he was unable to obtain cover. He said when his mount continued to race keenly in the early stages he allowed it to stride forward to take up a position outside the eventual winner, however, his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. He added having regard to the manner in which his mount raced in the early stages and the fact that it was obliged to race wide and without cover, it was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight. He further added that, in his opinion, the horse would be better suited by being dropped back in distance for its next race start where it would be able to settle on a more genuine pace - Race 211.
