HILLBILLY - held up final turn. Driver M McKendry was questioned regarding his apparent lack of vigour late in the run home. Mr McKendry stated that he was mindful that the two year old gelding which was having its 4th race day start had galloped rounding the final turn losing its chance at its previous start. As a result he had been reluctant to place this runner under additional pressure after having applied the whip on several occasions when improving in the passing lane inside the 100m. He further explained that he felt that HILLBILLY had been doing its best and would not have finished in a better position. After considering the matter and viewing the replays Mr McKendry's explanation was noted however he was reminded of his obligations to ensure that his runners are driven out to the end of the race where circumstances allow in the future.
