Incident Report
On jumping was checked when crowded between SELF IMPROVEMENT and RED ELEGANCE which jumped awkwardly and shifted out. When questioned M Chadwick stated that his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover in the early stages. He said near the 500 Metres he endeavoured to obtain a position with cover behind SELF IMPROVEMENT but when that runner shifted out slightly as he was shifting in, his mount inadvertently struck the heels of SELF IMPROVEMENT, blundered and became unbalanced. M Chadwick was advised that he should ensure he does not position himself too close to the heels of other runners to avoid a similar incident occurring.
