MIGHTY FLYING LOU - hung inwards and struck track markers rounding the final bend placing driver R May in difficulty. Again hung inwards early in the run home, racing inside several markers in the passing lane with trailing runners being hampered. When questioned Mr May stated the gelding had locked on one rein, preventing him from steering despite his efforts when using the whip. Nothwithstanding this Mr May was reminded of his obligations in similar circumstances. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing record.
