7th 1 Intervention (GB) 7 G AVG
Michael Appleby 140 lbs 11/2 1.25 Awkward start and slowly away - took keen hold - in rear - kept on from over 1f out - never near to challenge (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that gelding is a gassy sort - particularly after a break; his instructions were to try and settle gelding mid-division before mounting his challenge in home straight; however - after jumping awkwardly and losing considerable ground early on - he was further caught out by the strong early pace - which resulted in him being further back than intended; unable to chase for fear of lighting him up - he allowed gelding to make up ground gradually and - once he had switched round Paddy's Day and obtained clear running - he was able to ask for his effort and was pleased with the way gelding finished his race off in the circumstances; he added that - in his opinion - gelding would be best suited to sprint trips in the short term and would ideally appreciate a stiffer 5f; trainer's rep confirmed instructions and that he was satisfied with the ride; vet examined gelding post-race and had nothing to report)(tchd 5/1 and tchd 13/2)
