She works well and her second last run was good,. She disappointed us here the last day but Ben Coen felt we rode her a bit too handy then and felt she'd be better with a bit of cover.

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Alyse Jane Clarke, rider of If But Maybe, concerning her use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that she felt her mount was dropping out and she used her whip to try and get her going forward as she was leaning a little left also. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied Alyse Jane Clarke was in breach of R10.3(b) (unnecessary hitting of a horse after its chance of winning or being placed is clearly gone) and having taken her record into account (first offence) they suspended her for two racedays. Miss Elaine O' Farrell accompanied Ms. Clarke for this enquiry
