i find what the stewards judged this ride as totally impossible to fathom ,,, while the horse was going forward i didnt see anything wrong with the ride , perhaps over enthusiastic , but as soon as its effort was over he let it come home as it wished , they wdnt have wanted the horse to suffer any harm , and they would def not be running the horse if it wasnt well at home , any signs of it not wanting to run , then races under rules def finished ,
