10th
Slowly away - lost many lengths start - tailed off (jockey said - regarding running and riding - that his instructions were to get settled early on and finish race off as strongly as possible; he explained that gelding was showing unruly tendencies prior to the load which were out of character and went on to explain that gelding was very slowly away and into stride; gelding failed to respond to his early urgings; failing to pick up bit or travel - becoming even further detached from other runners; he later stated that he felt it unnecessary to commit to a full drive or the use of whip as gelding was going as fast as he could under a loose rein and thought he would be unable to regain distance lost during early stages of race; trainer's rep stated that they were satisfied with ride considering gelding was very slowly away and into stride)(op 14/1)
9 G Poor R Mike Smith 129 lbs 20/1 56
