Mr Holmes explained that he had been concerned at the amount of ground that the horse had lost when in a break and as the horse had been hanging inwards and travelling only fairly, he thought his best option was to improve inwards and save ground however he had been hampered by a breaking runner near the 200 metres and lost momentum.

Miss Barron was of the opinion that due to this and considering that MANON THE RUN had worked hard in the middle stages she felt that runner may commence to tire and that it was in her best interests to ensure that she was not held up for clear running should this eventuate. After considering her explanation, Stewards took the matter no further. | |
