IDEAL CONQUEROR - raced greenly when leading passing the 1300m and shifted up the track hampering trailing runners. A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. Hampered by a weakening runner rounding the final bend before shifting ground outwards and locking wheels with WEST VIRGINIA. Weakened early in the run home. Driver J Cox was issued a warning for allowing his runner to contact the sulky wheel of MIGHTY MIKI near the 500m when shifting ground.
