Junior Driver O Thornley, assisted by N Rasmussen, was questioned regarding the tactics she adopted during the middle stages and in particular as to whether she had given consideration to improving her gelding to take up a forward position. Miss Thornley stated that ITALIAN LAD normally raced very aggressively however the gelding had felt lethargic over the early stages so she considered that she would have had to work too hard to improve around the field and that her best option was to remain back in mid-field with cover and look to get a trail into the race. Ms Thornley further explained that this did not occur as she had hoped and felt that ITALIAN LAD had only ran on fairly over the final stages. Stable representative N Rasmussen advised that blood would be taken from the gelding in the coming days and Stewards will follow up regarding the results accordingly.
