Incident Report
L Hewitson stated that the intention was to hold an on-pace position with cover. He said in the early stages he allowed TIN FOOK to cross his mount which resulted in RIDING TOGETHER settling slightly further back than intended when a number of runners continued forward wider on the track. He added in the Home Straight RIDING TOGETHER finished the race off one-paced and he was of the opinion the horse would be suited with the reapplication of visors or blinkers and to be ridden with more urgency in the early stages to hold a more forward position.
