Warren Greatrex 151 lbs 6/1 6.5 Held up in rear - headway 3 out - soon nudged along - went third but hung left after 2 out - went second final 110yds - no match for winner - eyecatcher (jockey said that his instructions were to drop in and get gelding to settle - take his time and creep into the race to try to finish in best possible position - having previously made a respiratory noise; he explained that having jumped slowly away in the hope to get gelding to settle and allow gelding a better view of hurdles - he became outpaced in early stages; he added that he felt it prudent to keep a hold of gelding's head after it had started to make a respiratory noise in back straight - a matter in which he reported at scales - in order to get gelding to finish his race; he further stated that gelding had started to hang and jump left-handed from bend turning into home straight and felt that when he was able to get gelding to race without hanging as badly - winner had gotten away from him and that he could not have made up the ground between them; therefore - he believed that gelding had obtained his best possible placing; trainer confirmed instructions given to jockey and added that he was satisfied with ride in the circumstances as he felt that gelding had been hanging badly left-handed; vet said a post-race examination failed to find any abnormalities - however a second examination revealed gelding to have slight heat in his left-fore)(op 5/1 tchd 13/2)
