7th but not far away

Gerald, Brenton and owners David, Mick, Steve and Geoff were all pleased with KW's effort today. He only finished 7th of 11 but was only two and a half lengths from the winner in a fast run race (new class record) over an unsuitable distance. He will derive considerable benefit from the outing and be far more competitive over around 1400m next start.
Brenton reported after the race that he kept pace with them early on quite easily but was only found a little wanting when the specialist 1200m horses kicked on in the straight. However he held his position well in the straight and found the line well enough for a first start back.
