Flat Turf Web The Tool Company Handicap Lost many lengths start - in rear - some headway under 2f out - no impression inside final furlong (stewards enquired into the running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to bounce out and try get into a nice position and ride his race from there; he added that his mount backed away from the gates and was slow to come out and then went left; he said that his race was over at this point before it was even begun; he further added that he gave his mount a chance to creep into the race and did his best from there; trainer confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride; he added that he was disappointed with the unfortunate start and felt that the animal may have resisted in the use of a different bit; he confirmed that the animal was slow to jump from the stalls on his previous run which was why he had changed the bit; he concluded by stating that he was happy the rider had gave his horse time to catch up and get into the race; vet said gelding but had a minor cut on the right side of his mouth of minor consequence; samples were taken for further analysis; having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence the stewards were satisfied that jockey was in breach of Rule 213 in that he had failed to report significant information which he said had ended his race in the early stages; having taken his clean record into account they suspended him for one raceday)(op 13/2)
