He added that the gelding was running very freely throughout the race - which he reported to scales on his return. He continued that once the rest of the field joined him going up the hill - he felt that the gelding was very tired and having squeezed him along with his legs - felt that the gelding had no more to give at which point he felt it prudent to pull up)(op 33/1)
