When questioned M Guyon stated that approaching the 500 Metres his mount commenced to race keenly when BEAUTY GLORY was unable to quicken. He said as a result he shifted to the outside of BEAUTY GLORY and was then checked to avoid ANOTHER ZONDA when that runner did not improve into the race. He said as a consequence he was obliged to shift out to avoid ANOTHER ZONDA and made contact with LOCH TAY. M Guyon was advised in similar circumstances to exercise more care and to ensure that he gives his mounts sufficient clearance from runners in front when shifting ground. Sent for sampling post-race.
