  • Stipe Comment: Slow to begin then ridden with urgency to recover, raced wide throughout, rider reported had been a beaten runner very quickly and there may have been something amiss, post-race vet no obvious abnormality. Trainer Mr. J Blackadder reported to Stewards, that upon return to the stable the gelding underwent blood tests, which revealed no abnormalities. J Blackadder further advised HIT THE SWITCH has been sent for a brief freshen up. J Blackadder puts the disappointing performance of the gelding down to the Heavy 10 track conditions.
