Trainer M Narredu and Jockey Daniel M.Grant were questioned with regard the poor performance of MR MORRISON. The Jockey Stated that after a good jump out his mount was not on the bit. The Trainer stated that the gelding is ordinary and has soundness problems and therefore he has raced him after a long gap even after winning his previous race. He added that the pace in the early part of the race was fast and the gelding had difficulty in keeping up with the pace and had to be ridden out to keep up which may not have suited the gelding. He further added that the gelding had met with interference in the straight at a crucial stage of the race. The explanation was noted.
