Trainer Evert van Breukelen stated that his instructions were to race in a mid to back position. App S Saddam understood his instructions and that after getting a fair jump, RACING MAN settled back and at about the 400M, he used his whip and the gelding responded fairly. The Panel of Stewards noted his explanation and advised him that from the 800M, he should have attempted to improve to get closer to D’GREAT OPULENT (KC Wong) and keep his mount under stricter control, as at about the 700M, MESSI (F Yap) was able to take a run to his inside when he permitted his mount to shift out. The Panel of Stewards took no further action but advised him to ride all his mounts out in a manner so as to leave no room for query.
