Thereafter, the gelding failed to produce a strong finish. Trainer GS Kotzen was questioned if there were any further reasons for the gelding's improved performance today Trainer Kotzen told the Stewards that, while he had been disappointed with BUSH TRACKER's performance in the Guineas on 18/12/2021, today's race was a distinct drop in class which explained the improvement, in his opinion.
