Race 11 - ASHBURTON GUARDIAN MOBILE PACE

Trainer M Purvis was spoken to in regards to the performance of MAMMA KNOWS BEST at Ashburton last Monday. He advised the mare had previously raced when in season and competed well but on this occasion being stabled near colts and then coming within close range of them in the pre race circle had obviously had some effect on his horse. Mr Purvis confirmed that in future he would be intending to scratch the horse when in season again.
