The Stewards questioned Jockey HS Gill and Trainer K Coetzee, the rider and trainer of BALBOA respectively, into that gelding’s poor performance today. Jockey HS Gill stated that from the wide barrier, he could not go forward as per his instructions and was caught wide going into the first turn. From the 800M, he again travelled wide and commenced to ride BALBOA vigorously with the whip for some distance but the gelding failed to respond to his riding and on entering the straight, he again used the whip but the gelding failed to respond and finished the race off poorly. Trainer K Coetzee explained that he was disappointed with BALBOA’s performance today and that in the races that the gelding had won, it had been able to lead easily and did its best. Both explanations were noted. Trainer K Coetzee was advised to report to the Stewards should he find anything amiss with BALBOA during the week.
