BENJAMIN BUTTON - when questioned regarding the performance Trainer S Abernethy advised that the gelding had proved to be disappointing on occasions previously when failing to give of its best if overly restrained during the running and felt that this may have been the case travelling down the back straight the final time when racing keenly. Mr Abernethy further explained that as previously advised to Stewards this runner needed things to go his way during the running to perform up to its best and this had not occurred from the wide draw in tonight's event . Stewards noted Mr Abernethy's comments.
