- Stewards Report
An enquiry was held following concerns regarding the poor jumping of Real King (GB), trained by Charles Pogson, which jumped very green in the rear of the field until unseating Charlie Hammond when attempting to run out at the sixth flight of hurdles.
Charlie Hammond and Charles Pogson’s representative were interviewed and shown recordings of the race.
Both Hammond and Pogson’s representative explained that the gelding had been schooled extensively at home in preparation for its first run over hurdles and a 989 day lay-off.
Pogson’s representative added that Real King (GB) had jumped well at home and was surprised at the gelding’s performance tonight.
He further added that the plan had been to get a lead from the field but by jumping the first hurdle very slowly, Real King (GB) had lost contact and, in his opinion, this was the reason why the gelding had jumped so badly.
He concluded that Real King (GB) will run again as quickly as possible having been schooled thoroughly at home.
Their explanations were noted.
