Mr Williamson explained that the mare had broken at the start last week but in his opinion was a horse with considerable ability and would benefit from being driven in a positive manner. This, he said, was emphasised by other key rivals making slower beginnings and so he attempted to maximise his advantage of a fast beginning and dictate a strong tempo. He said the mare travelled comfortably without urgings throughout but that near the 1000 metres the horse had looked to shift out towards the stable so he encouraged her at that point. Not long after he first heard the horse making respiratory noise and did not persevere with her over the final stages. After a Veterinary examination the horse was stood down pending a clearance which is to include a dynamic scope. | |
