App S Rosmizan also stated that he had not improved earlier on the mare as he wanted to keep D’GREAT LORD balanced to obtain the best finish. App S Rosmizan was informed that the Stewards were concerned with his failure to ride more vigorously prior to the 200M and advised to ride all his mounts out in a manner so as to leave no room for query.
