Incident Report
Lay out on the Home Turn. When questioned L Hewitson stated that the instructions were to go forward. He said his mount was unsettled in the starting gates and for this reason jumped only fairly. He said when GOOD LUCK BABE and MUST GO, which were drawn next to him, jumped better than his mount he elected to ride FATAL BLOW in a conservative manner in the early stages to avoid covering additional ground. He added in the Home Straight his mount finished the race off only fairly and, in his opinion, would be better suited by returning to the turf and being stepped up in distance for its next race start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
