C. Bryant, rider of BONNIE WEE CHARLIE, explained to the Stewards the gelding had commenced well and he had elected to lead in the early stages, until approaching the 1000 metres where DANNICK (G. O’Loughlin) had improved and gone to the front and as a result C. Bryant was able to ease his mount in an attempt to get cover. C. Bryant further explained that throughout the race BONNIE WEE CHARLIE had not been suited by the lack of speed in the event, and from the 600 metres he had commenced to ride his mount with the whip, but the gelding had only moderately responded to his riding and failed to finish the race off strongly.
