In the first run the horse was driven more aggressively than the 2nd.....and in the second run after easing back to last has run home very strongly.....this is always going to be a query when a stable has multiple runners in the same race!.........we will see if the stewards report (when it comes out) from Tuesday contains any comments about the race!
I am not sure about the stewards report for last Friday at Menangle, there was not one fine, supension, COT, reprimand or trial given out........not a damn thing.......it looks like it was a stewards "dream come true"!
