Trainer Faisal A. Abbas was questioned regarding the comparative performance of TEARAWAY in this race which the gelding won as compared to his earlier run in Race no 268 in a gap of 7 days. The Trainer stated that in the previous race the horse carried top weight and the going being slightly heavier along the inner rails the horse was tired towards the end. He said that although the horse had finished 6th in that race he was only 4 lengths from the winner. This time, the horse carried 7.5 kgs. less, albeit in a higher class, however, being a light frame horse, it suited him better this day.
