THE PRESENT MAKER - pre-race warmed. Slow early stages. Trotted roughly on occasions throughout. Placed in restricted room near the 350m when an outside runner shifted in and raced inside a track marker. When asked to comment on the performance driver W House was unable to provide any tangible explanation. A post-race veterinary examination revealed heat in the knee area. Connections advised they will have the gelding treated by their own Veterinarian in the coming days.
