Incident Report
When questioned M Chadwick stated that the instructions were to settle the horse where comfortable. He said from the outside barrier when caught wide in the early stages his mount settled towards the rear of the field when it was unable to hold a more forward position. He said making the Home Turn he commenced to improve to the outside of MID WINTER WIND but as he attempted to improve between MID WINTER WIND and SO YOU WILL he was obliged to check his mount near the 300 Metres when MID WINTER WIND shifted out. He said as a consequence he elected to shift back to the inside where it obtained clear running passing the 300 Metres. Trainer W K Mo confirmed the instructions were to find cover.
