RACE 6 – HAZELLS FARM & FERTILIZER SERVICES – NSWSOA BONUS PACE – 1609 metres

MAYWYNS MIGHTY MAC – When questioned in relation to the performance driver B Hughes explained, that it had been his pre-race intention to obtain cover behind the lead if possible, however when challenged in the early stages by TWO CRACKED CORN he was reluctant to allow that runner to cross as he was not confident in its ability to be able to finish the race off strongly which may have resulted in him being unable to obtain clear running. He said that after this he was challenged on the outside by LACHIES IDEAL for some distance and during this time the tempo of the race increased to a point where MAYWYNS MIGHTY MAC was not comfortable in transit. He said that when placed under pressure inside the 400 metres the gelding was unresponsive and ran to the finish in a disappointing manner. He added that had ALLORNOTHINGLEVI which raced forward in the early stages been able to cross he would have been content to obtain cover behind it. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
