He said for this reason he then elected to shift to the outside of RUN YES RUN to obtain clear running inside the 100 Metres, but as he did so, RUN YES RUN (M Chadwick) shifted out, resulting in CALIFORNIA MOXIE having difficulty obtaining clear running and being buffeted for room between RUN YES RUN and PATCH OF COSMO.

He said after jumping well, when runners to his outside improved in the early stages, he was able to obtain a position on-pace with cover. When questioned regarding his riding from the 550 Metres and as to whether there was an opportunity to improve to the outside of HOLY LAKE, L Hewitson stated that whilst his preference was to obtain this position, he had continuously received a call from Jockey H Bowman, the rider of BOURBONAIRE which was positioned to his outside, and as a result he was unable to shift out as he was concerned he may cause interference. He added that on straightening he then became disappointed for clear running between BOURBONAIRE and HOLY LAKE when both runners shifted ground slightly and as a result BRAVEHEARTS was held up between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres.

When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight, M Chadwick stated that after following BALLISTIC WIN, he was of the opinion that runner had lay out on the Home Turn and may shift out in the Home Straight. He said for this reason approaching the 400 Metres he initially shifted to the inside of BALLISTIC WIN to obtain clear running, but when that runner was corrected by its rider, he was held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and the 350 Metres.
