Race 1 TAB We’re On 1400m Acta Non Verba

2/11/2024 FLEM Eased down inside the final 100m. Rider - no explanation for the performance. 27/11/2024 GEEL Disapp for run near 300m. Tactics queried. Rdr std may have erred in allowing runner to cross to posn outside leader in front of his mount near 600m, however at the time he felt he would have been able to either shift in behind leader or be in a posn to shift to outside of runners on straightening. Added that when a runner improved to his inside & another runner improved quickly to his outside, he was left with no other option than to settle amongst runners. Stewards agreed & advised rider that he may have been better placed holding his position outside leader at that stage. 28/12/2024 M V Held up for clear running from the 300m and near the 150m was steadied when disappointed for a run. 21/12/2024 PAKM Approaching the 400m shifted out and bumped
