Steward Comment

Laid in rounding the home turn. Laid out when placed under pressure in the home straight. When asked for a comment on the improved performance, rider stated that with the better barrier draw in comparison to previous starts, THE LAST SAGA was able to obtain a more favourable position throughout the event, which proved advantageous to its finishing efforts.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly. Had to be steadied off heels shortly after the start. Over-raced in the early stages while being restrained to obtain a position with cover. When asked for a comment on the performance, rider advised that he had been instructed to attempt to obtain a position with cover. Rider further added that YOSEMITE FALLS was one paced throughout the event and proved disappointing. Trainer advised that he had intended on obtaining a position with cover, but not as far back as on this occasion.
