Bruce questioned
Raymond Bruce, the rider of the win favourite, Orb, in the Paparua Handicap at Riccarton on Saturday, was questioned regarding his mount’s performance by the judicial committee. Bruce said that although Orb was close to the pace in the early stages of the race he was never handling the track conditions comfortably, was under pressure entering the home straight and despite his urgings failed to run on, beating only one runner home. The video confirmed Bruce’s statement.
