FOLLOW ME FANTASY - when questioned in relation to the manner in which he drove leaving the back straight the final time when electing not to shift out off the back of TERRORMYLOVE prior to HA'PENNY improving to his outer Driver W House stated that he had been mindful of the work the mare had done during the middle stages when improving round three wide and felt that TERRORMYLOVE was still travelling strongly prior to being covered by HA'PENNY near the 400m. Mr House further stated that with the slow tempo during the middle stages he felt the event was going to develop into a sprint home so had been reluctant to shift wider approaching the 400m and that FOLLOW ME FANTASY had received clear racing room early in the run home which enabled him to fully test the mare.
