Stuck 3wide,fading by 600

MATAI HARRY - raced three wide without cover throughout. Weakened from the 700m. Stewards questioned driver A Milne regarding the tactics he adopted when racing wide throughout before weakening. Mr Milne explained that after beginning well his intention was to go forward however the gelding had dropped the bit and would not progress. Mr Milne added he was reluctant to restrain to the rear at this point as this would have meant going back several lengths so he opted to remain racing three wide in the hope that he would flush another runner out ahead and obtain cover, however this had failed to eventuate. After hearing from Mr Milne Stewards adjourned the matter to give it further consideration.
