Shortly after the start was bumped by SKY TRUST. When questioned A Atzeni stated that he expected GENEVA to settle back in the field and he had been instructed to hold the horse for a final run as GENEVA possess a short sprint. He said after holding a rearward position, entering the Home Straight he encouraged the horse forward but did not apply full pressure having regard to his instructions. He said his decision to do so was also influenced by the fact that TURQUOISE VELOCITY and VICTOR THE WINNER had gone quickly in front and he expected those horses to give ground in the Home Straight. He added that when he approached the 300 Metres he then placed GENEVA under full pressure following the favourite RISING FORCE into the event before the horse finished the race off well over the concluding stages. Trainer D J Hall confirmed the instructions, however, stated that, in his view, he would like to have seen the horse being placed under pressure sooner than it was on this occasion. After considering his explanation the Stewards advised Jockey Atzeni that, in their opinion, he should have placed more pressure on the horse in the early stages of the Home Straight to improve his position, particularly having regard to the margin he was behind the leaders. He was further advised in future he would be expected to ride his mounts with better judgement than he did on this occasion.
