Mr Grima further advised the horse had continued to work well and trialled good in preparation for today’s event and he felt that driving the horse forward rather than taking cover would be beneficial. Mr Grima further advised that given the improved performance today he would continue to drive the horse in this manner moving forward. After considering the explanation provided by Mr Grima, Stewards determined to note his comments. Post-race swab sample.
