Don’t think the stipes needed to even ask questions of the trainer or jockey, was fairly obvious to them and everyone else there, she ran poorly due to her bad behaviour prior to the race, seeing as it took her a good 5 minutes to get down to the start after looking like she was going to flip over backwards, running backwards and refusing to go forwards toward the start. Kudos to The King for even managing to stay aboard during her pre race antics. Her behaviour was that bad it looked to be setting the clerks horse off as well, who spent a bit of time rearing and bucking out on the track, whilst she was throwing a tantrum. When she finally got on her way she looked to be in a muck lather and as if she had already run her race, just as Blackson says above. Obviously couldn’t cope with the crowd or the windy conditions.
