Bernard Llewellyn | 138 lbs | 100/1 | 3.5 | Jumped left throughout - held up in last - going okay but still plenty to do 3 out - nudged along and kept on from 2 out - never near to challenge (Jockey said - regarding running and riding - that his instructions were to drop the filly in and get the filly jumping - as she had unseated the jockey last time out on her first run over hurdles. He added that the filly had jumped and travelled well but had hung slightly left under pressure - although he continued that this was not performance affecting. Trainer's rep stated that he was happy with the ride and that it accorded with the instructions given. He further stated that in his opinion - the filly could in hindsight have been positioned closer through the early to mid stages of the contest - but he was satisfied with the ride overall)(tchd 150/1) | |
