Race 7 TAB TURNBULL STAKES - 2000 metres:

Mystic Journey Jumped away awkwardly. Held up from the 400 metres until passing the 200 metres. When questioned regarding the tactics today rider Anthony Darmanin advised that he was instructed to begin neutral and allow the mare to balance early in the race before blending into the race from the 700 metres. He added that after beginning slowly he then elected to settle further back than initially anticipated and chose not to hold his position when racing neatly on the inside of Rostropovich (IRE,) which he allowed to go forward and cross his running. Trainer Adam Trinder confirmed the instructions and explained that he had envisaged the mare settling mid-field or slightly worse. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormality.

Kings Will Dream (IRE) Jumped away awkwardly.

Rostropovich (IRE) Over raced and raced three wide without cover in the early stages.

Sound (GER) When over racing had to be checked off the heels of Kings Will Dream (IRE) near the 1200 metres.

Trap For Fools Rider Peter Hall could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormality. Stewards will follow up with the stable.

Mr Quickie Rider John Allen could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormality. Stewards will follow up with the stable.
