He stated that he ended up a little more forward then he had wanted but he was happy with his position as the fancied horses were all in front of him. Furthermore he stated that the two leaders kicked early and his mount came off the bridle very quickly and then just stayed on. trainer's rep confirmed the instructions given and stated that having spoken with trainer after the race he had expressed his satisfaction with the ride. vet said gelding was found to be making an abnormal respiratory noise post-race)(op 5/1)

Emmet Mullins 160 lbs 2/1 .75 In rear - took keen hold - still towards rear 3 out but soon pushed along - stayed on strongly - not fluent last - went 4th run-in - nearest finish (jockey said - regarding running and riding - he was instructed to drop gelding out last and to get his mount to relax and breath. he explained in detail to the Acting Stewards while the video of the race was being viewed that his mount relaxed but began to make a respiratory noise in the back straight and he gave him a chance at this point even though he wanted to be closer to the pace. he added that he held onto his mount on the turn into the home straight and let him down gradually to finish well. he described his mount as having choked in the closing stages but accepted that he had applied the whip close to the finish after his mount had got a second wind. in his opinion he would have finished third if his mount had not hung in the closing stages. he explained that he was familiar with this horse before trainer had acquired him and his wind had always been an issue which has progressively got worse. he had suggested to the trainer that a tongue strap should be applied to assist the horse. trainer confirmed the instructions and added that this horse was having his first run today under his care. he explained that todays run was an expedition to get his charge to learn - to get him to settle and get him to race. in his opinion his charge was fit enough to compete and felt that he was sure to improve from today. he described the horse's past poor form and having had the horse's wind checked at a Veterinary hospital. he confirmed that he applied a cross nose band today. he now believes that a wind operation is required but thought that his charge would benefit for faster ground conditions which would make the horse more manageable. he confirmed that he was satisfied with the ride. 60-day ban from running)(op 7/4)
