EBURY STREET - held up early in the run home. Stewards questioned junior driver H Sail (assisted by R May) regarding the non activation of the removable deafeners. Mr Sail advised that the mare had been hampered when held up early in the run home and he was wary of the horse tending to lay outwards over the concluding stages. Notwithstanding this Mr Sail was reminded of his obligations to activate gear when a clear run exists and not to leave his drives open to query in future. When assessing this matter Stewards took into account Mr Sail's limited race day experience.
