OR:51 SP:22/1

In rear - headway final furlong - never dangerous (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that her instructions were to ride forwards of mid-division - but having jumped slowly from the stalls she was unable to obtain this position and therefore settled towards the rear of the field; she continued that from an early stage she felt the mare was unsuited by the ground - which she felt was riding loose - adding that she felt the mare was unbalanced on the undulating track; trainer stated that his instructions were as stated and reported that mare had yet to win a race for him - he further stated that horses run for the rider even if it sometimes looks like she is lacking in vigour in the closing stages; vet examined the mare post-race on two occasions and found her to have a cut on her left-hind leg - an aggravation of a previous wound)(tchd 20/1)
