  • Stipe Comment: When questioned regarding performance, rider was of the opinion there was something amiss with the gelding. Underwent a post-race vet check clear. Trainer Mr. H Matthews reported to Stewards, that the gelding underwent chiropractic treatment on Saturday 21 March, which revealed tightness through the sacroiliac region. Mr Matthews further advised that it is his intention to continue with EARLY ONE’S current preparation.
