You are right in that it deserved a mention, no risk, but thats about it really, just so the ducking in is on the horses record.

I finally got around to having a look at this replay, you are partly right the incident does rate a mention and as you say has no influence on the result.

However if you think the horse ducked in you must give interesting evidence in the stewards room because by my reading of the replay the horse is clearly directed in by its driver who when she realises she can not continue in, relieves the pressure, no need for this to placed in the horses record because in my opinion the horse ducked nowhere.

It simply went in the direction it was taken by its driver, weather that be in or out.
