ROBYNS ART - when questioned after this runner had shortened considerably in the betting markets Driver W House advised that he had been unaware of this until after the event and could only attribute it to the mare having made up considerable ground after laying out and galloping at its previous start. Mr House further advised that connections had added a rein burr for today's event and that he felt that ROBYNS ART had pulled up in front in the run home and may be better served driven in behind. Stewards noted his comments.
