OUR TANGLEFOOT (B Huppatz) was slow to begin. Jockey B HUPPATZ, rider of OUR TANGLEFOOT was asked by Stewards for the reason why the gelding was so far out of his ground in the early and mid stages of the race. Jockey HUPPATZ stated the gelding was standing flat-footed as the start was effected, loosing about 4 lengths. He also stated that he had ridden the gelding along with the whip for the first 400 metres but the gelding could not maintain the early pace. Video evidence confirmed jockey HUPPATZ’s statements. Explanations accepted by Stewards.
