Racing Incident Report
Race Three: (13) - TAI O HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
DENFIELD jumped awkwardly and then was badly crowded for room between H Z TOURBILLON and SUPER EAGLE which shifted in abruptly.
A short distance later, H Z TOURBILLON was then steadied when crowded by MEGA BONUS which shifted out abruptly before being corrected by its rider, A Atzeni.
DAILY TROPHY and CHARMING STEED bumped at the start.
Near the 900 Metres, DAILY TROPHY ran in behind DENFIELD despite the efforts of its rider and as a consequence crowded SNOWALOT for a short distance.
Passing the 200 Metres, L Ferraris (SUPER EAGLE) momentarily dropped his right rein.
Approaching the 150 Metres, LUCKY ARCHANGEL was steadied when disappointed for clear running between GOLDEN LUCK and MEGA BONUS which shifted in.
Near the 100 Metres, LUCKY ARCHANGEL was then shifted to the outside of MEGA BONUS in an attempt to secure clear running, but was again disappointed between MEGA BONUS and SUPER EAGLE and as a consequence could not be fully tested to the finish of the event.
After the race, L Hewitson (SNOWALOT) reported that after settling towards the rear of the field, his mount failed to travel strongly at any stage of the event.
He added that whilst SNOWALOT had some difficulty obtaining clear running making the Home Turn when positioned behind H Z TOURBILLON, it was still somewhat disappointing in the manner in which it finished the race off.
A veterinary inspection of SNOWALOT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Also after the race, it was noted that DAILY TROPHY had lost its right hind plate.
A veterinary inspection of CHARMING STEED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
DENFIELD, MEGA BONUS and SUPER EAGLE were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Punted late, Mega Bonus chased the speed on the fence, surged to the lead near the 100m pole and kept on gamely to record his third win. He won off an identical mark last season, and he is a proven fresh performer. Super Eagle ran on nicely to win a battle for second after his prominent run on the rail. He proved his last-start near miss was not a fluke. Odds-on favourite Denfield did some nice work late to narrowly miss second after starting slowly and making his run four back and one off the fence. It was a good run first up carrying the top weight. Late-fancied Golden Luck just lost a placing after finding the front from the widest draw. He is not easy to get right. Lucky Archangel raced short of room near the inside over the final 100m after his midfield run one off the rail. He had an excuse but still appeared to need the run. H Z Tourbillon made ground late without threatening the placegetters after biding his time two from the rear. He prefers a faster track. Charming Steed faded after his speed-chasing run. He ran below par after placing in four of his final five starts last term, but he is one to keep safe with Class Five looming.
