TYRON'S CONNOISSEUR - unsuccessfully challenged for the lead in the early stages. Weakened final turn. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted over the early stages Driver T Mitchell stated that he elected to go forward from the barrier three draw to see if the lead which was being held by MIKI DOO was available with that runner then pacing roughly rounding the first turn so he elected to continue with the challenge before then sitting up once Driver Z Butcher (MIKI DOO) indicated he was intent on holding the lead. Mr Mitchell further explained that he had then been unable to shift to the leader's back due to CHASE ME filling that position so went forward again when MIKI DOO paced roughly for several strides near the 1100m. He then added that he had desisted with the challenge shortly after and sat back off MIKI DOO to give his runner some respite however the filly was under pressure leaving the back straight and weakened shortly after. After considering the matter Stewards were of the opinion that Mr Mitchell's tactics were not so unreasonable as to be culpable and took no further action other than to note his comments. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormality. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
