He explained that he has ridden and won on the gelding previously when riding in a similar manner and - in his experience - it needs to be kept on the bridle for as long as possible. He added that - in his opinion - due to the slow early pace the field was compacted - preventing him from obtaining a clear run until the final stages of the race - a fact which he reported to scales. He continued that after obtaining a clear run the gelding picked up and finished strong in the closing stages; vet reported that a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities)(op 4/1)
