BONJOUR PARIS - raced greenly and trotted roughly near the 1400m with the gelding shifting up the track. Again raced greenly and shifted up the track in the run home. When questioned regarding the improved performance co-trainer/driver J Thomas advised the gelding had been breaking in previous starts and had trialed well in preparation for tonight's race. Mr Thomas was spoken to advisedly for the manner in which he drove when allowing the gelding to race away from the marker line when leading at various stages.
