=== Post Race ===
Stewards' Enquiry report = "The Stewards held an enquiry into the running and riding of SCRUFFY MCGUFFY, ridden by Rowan Scott and trained by Ann Duffield, which was slightly slow away from the stalls and stayed on in the closing stages to finish fifth, beaten 8¼ lengths. They interviewed the rider and the trainer’s representative. They also received a report from the Veterinary Officer who confirmed that a post-race examination of the gelding during routine testing failed to reveal any abnormalities. The rider stated that his instructions were to give the gelding a good positive ride, adding that SCRUFFY MCGUFFY after being slowly away was outpaced in the early stages and became unbalanced on the bend leaving the back straight. He further stated that the gelding was denied a clear run approaching one furlong out. The trainer’s representative confirmed that the ride given accorded with the instructions and added that SCRUFFY MCGUFFY was a nervous type at home. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race the Stewards noted their explanations.". |
