- Stewards Report

THE OLBG 'CHASING EXCELLENCE' NOVICES' STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 3) (GBB RACE) Harry Cobden, the rider of Quebecois (FR), was asked to explain his riding throughout the race, where the gelding appeared to have finished under tender handling, to be placed second of the three runners, beaten 17 lengths.
Cobden explained that his instructions had been to sit handy, but it became apparent to him relatively quickly that Quebecois (FR) did not have the pace to go with the leader and eventual winner of the race, in ground officially described as Soft, which was more testing than ideal for the gelding, a fact which he reported at scales.
He added that he felt that Quebecois (FR) would further appreciate a step up in trip to 3 miles.
His explanation was noted.
