Rich Ricci said: “Something looked wrong today, and it was very strange from the second hurdle. Paul said she was beaten a long way from home so we’ll have her scoped and see if anything is up. It looked very strange. We’ll figure it out and see what’s next”

I have to admit when watching the replay the horse’s head was slightly cocked to one side, and it didn’t look smooth sailing from an early stage.
