- He took YES BOSSY inwards near the 300M and thereby, ran onto the heels of ROYAL FLUSH when he was in a position prior to this to take YES BOSSY to the outside to obtain a clear passage.

Trainer AB Abdullah stated that ISFAHAN was best suited over long distances and as such he believed the gelding was best ridden from behind. He further was of the opinion that ISFAHAN’s performance had been severely curtailed by the two (2) checks it had received.
