On viewing the video he stated that his mount had jumped out of stalls awkwardly for a few strides and was further back in the field than intended. He added that when wanting to make a forward move in the back straight he had held back while the rider of Staging Post was in trouble on a free running horse. He concluded by stating that his mount was flat out from the bottom bend - got a reminder with the whip and failed to respond before being driven to the line. In his opinion the geldinghandled the ground well but needs a longer trip. The trainer confirmed the riding instructions and added that the rider was not to force his mount as he was drawn wide from stall fifteen. He stated that his charge ran bad recently at Killarney where E.J. McNamara - rider on that day - informed him that his mount was a lazy and stuffy horse which could benefit from a quick return to the track. On viewing the video of todays race the trainer felt that his charge attained his best possible placing. He described his charge as a big stocky animal who needs plenty of work and shows nothing at home)(op 250/1)
