Stewards' Reports for Aljabr Al Maktoum Challenge R1
DYNAMITE (AE) (R Ffrench) reared on jumping and lost ground. KERBAL LOTOIS (FR) (R Mullen) was slow into stride. AL SABEQ (FR) (T Durcan) and AL JOUDE (FR) (W Supple) bumped on jumping. Approaching the 1500m, CHARH (GB) (M Dwyer) shifted inwards tightening DYNAMITE (AE) onto AL SABEQ (FR) which then crowded RAGGASS (FR) (D Hayse) causing that horse to buffet heavily between AL JOUDE (FR) and AL SABEQ (FR). Shortly after this, AL SAOUDI (FR) (R Hills) held CHARH (GB) tight which caused DYNAMITE (AE), AL SABEQ (FR), RAGGASS (FR) and AL JOUDE (FR) to continue racing tightly and buffet each other for a short distance. Jockeys M Dwyer and R Ffrench were both advised to exercise greater caution with regards to their riding in the early stages.
