Jockey SU Lim explained that after the incident at the 1300M, he was unable to carry out his instructions and passing the 800M, he came back and shifted in to avoid being caught wide and that in the straight, INDOMITABLE SPEED had a tendency to shift ground outwards. He also explained that the gelding only responded to his whip-riding fairly. After considering all evidence and reviewing the video, the Panel of Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim that he must ride all his mounts so as to leave no room for query. Trainer Evert van Breukelen’s explanations were noted.
