Miss O'Reilly explained that the gelding has a tendency to hang on the final bend and in her opinion is more competitive when following another horse at this stage of the race so she elected to remain in the running line. Stewards also questioned her apparent lack of vigour over the concluding stages when narrowly beaten into 4th placing.
