IVANA FLYBYE - Junior Driver B Butcher, assisted by Senior Horseman D Butcher, was questioned regarding the apparent change of tactics adopted in today's event. Mr Butcher stated that IVANA FLYBYE had scored up greenly in its outside barrier draw on the first day in what was the filly's first race day start so he elected to go back early before attempting to improve entering the back straight the final time but was then inconvenienced when other runners shifted out in front of him before being forced wide on the final bend. Mr Butcher further explained that the filly had been more tractable when scoring up in today's event so he elected to work forward before being able to cross to the lead near the 1400 metres. | |
