Tr. Rutherford Alford when questioned regarding the improved performance of his charge XTRAVAGANT STAR as compared to its previous outing in race No. 9 - THE CASCADES HANDICAP, run on 7th November, 2024 stated that in its last outing the gelding did not relish the top weight resulting in its poor performance and therefore he decided to run it in this race carrying bottom weight which helped it to win. In addition the gelding has a habit of fractious gate manners which causes it to jump slowly but today it took a fairly level start which also helped its winning chances, hence the improved performance. While noting his explanations, the Trainer was cautioned to ensure that his charges run more consistently in future.
