Permission was given for MINTNTTHAT to go early to post.

An enquiry was held into the running and riding of Showmedemoney (IRE), ridden by Poppy Wilson and trained by Iain Jardine, which was held up at the back of the field until being asked for an effort inside the 1 ½ furlongs to finish fifth beaten 8 lengths.

The rider and the representative of Jardine were interviewed and shown recordings of the race; the Veterinary Officer reported that post-race examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities.

The rider stated that her instructions were to settle the gelding towards the rear of the field before improving her position from 3 furlongs out.

Wilson explained that she had found herself more detached than she had intended and in hindsight, that due to the slow early pace, she should have taken closer order and improved her position much sooner and had given Showmedemoney (IRE) too much to do from 2 ½ furlongs out.

The Representative of Jardine confirmed the instructions, and added that they were disappointed by the ride, adding that the rider had given Showmedemoney (IRE) too much to do off a slow early pace due to the rider’s inexperience.

Wilson was suspended for 10 days for asking for an effort too late as a result of a serious misjudgement.

Following the race Paul Mulrennan reported that UMNEYATT (IRE), unplaced, weakened quickly inside the final 1 ½ furlongs.
