Midfield - hampered 1st - good headway after 2 out - went second after last - nudged along challenging final 110yds - just held (the stewards enquired into the running and riding with particular emphasis on the closing stages; jockey said his instructions were to settle his mount in fifth or sixth place - get into a rhythm and ride his race from there - he said the race was less than straight forward and his mount suffered some interference in the closing stages - when questioned on his riding particularly inside the last 50yards he stated that he was riding to the best of his ability on a horse that would not respond to use of a whip - he further added that the animal was raw and inexperienced and in the circumstances he was satisfied that he had made every effort in the closing stages - trainer's rep confirmed instructions given and expressed her satisfaction with the ride - she further confirmed that she had spoken with the trainer by phone and stated that the trainer was also satisfied with the ride - following running of the race - vet said gelding had a small wound on the outside of his right fore and noted a righthand side cardiac murmur which is louder post trot than when he is at rest - samples were taken for analysis - having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence - the stewards noted the explanations offered on the basis of the Veterinary evidence alone - which they felt was a very significant factor when arriving at their decision)(op 9/2)
