  • Stipe Comment: Checked passing 400 metres then not persevered with for remainder of race. Rider advised after travelling had been quickly beaten entering straight before losing all momentum when checked, but did feel that there may be something amiss. Post-race vet check clear. Trainer Mr. A Forsman reported to Stewards, that he was satisfied with the post-race condition of the gelding and may look to nominate THE ESPY for the Racing Rotorua meeting on Monday 27 December. Mr. Forsman further advised that a gear change may be considered prior to THE ESPY’S next race-day start.
