When questioned regarding the performance driver C Dalgety advised he was disappointed with the effort despite being fresh up from a spell over 2600m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a high heart rate and slow recovery. Connections advised they will have blood tests taken from the gelding in the coming days and Stewards will follow up the results.
