He added that this was the gelding's first run on ground this soft and therefore he kept out wide - tracking Pittsburg - in an attempt to try and conserve energy by racing on the fresher ground. Turning into the home straight he asked the gelding for an effort - who tired immediately - whereupon he felt it prudent to nurse the gelding home over the final two hurdles. He further stated that he felt the gelding was unsuited by the going - which was officially described as Soft (Heavy in Places) - and this was confirmed over the telephone by Henry Oliver - who reported that the gelding would prefer a quicker surface)(op 33/1)
