JOHNNY TROTTER - Stewards questioned driver J Dunn regarding his apparent lack of vigour over the concluding stages. Mr Dunn explained that the gelding, which had broken in its recent starts, had been trotting roughly throughout the run home. He believed that applying further pressure would likely have caused the gelding to break and therefore erred on the side of caution to ensure it remained in its correct gait. After considering Mr Dunn's explanation, reviewing all available films and taking into account their own observations, Stewards took the matter no further other than to note his comments.
