Jockey stated that he recently rode the gelding at Naas where he ran very free. Today he was instructed to drop the gelding out - switch him off - get him to settle - creep into the race at a later stage and to do his best. On viewing the video recording of the race he explained that he complied with his riding instructions but felt that the gelding only stayed on past tired horses from the third last hurdle and could not have finished any closer. Jockey further added that he reported to the trainer post race that his mount had whinnied after passing the finish line. Trainer confirmed the riding instructions and expressed his satisfaction with the manner that they were carried out but felt that the rider should have pushed the gelding out harder from the second last hurdle. Trainer further added that his charge had whinnied on pulling up and in his opinion needs a longer trip)(op 66/1)
