Racing Incident Report
Race Eight : (576) - KALANCHOE HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1650Meters
Horse No 1 HAMERON (H265) H Bowman Over the concluding stages was badly crowded.
Horse No 2 WINNING DRAGON (E461) B Avdulla Near the 50 Metres was checked when crowded between HAMERON and EIGHTEEN PALMS which was taken in by IVY LEAGUE (K De Melo).
K De Melo was severely reprimanded for making insufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting in.
Horse No 3 SIMPLY MAVERICK (H346) Z Purton Jumped awkwardly and made contact with the left side of its barrier.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 5 SHOW RESPECT (H138) H Bentley Between the 150 Metres and the 50 Metres was badly held up for clear running.
Horse No 6 EIGHTEEN PALMS (H033) A Badel When the pace steadied near the 900 Metres commenced to race keenly and was steadied away from LOVERO.
The Stewards considered a protest/objection lodged by Mr C S Shum, trainer of 5th placegetter, EIGHTEEN PALMS, against IVY LEAGUE being declared the winner alleging interference over the concluding stages.
After considering the evidence, the Stewards overruled the protest/objection when they found that whilst IVY LEAGUE had shifted in, crowding and resulting in EIGHTEEN PALMS being checked, they were not satisfied that had such interference not occurred, EIGHTEEN PALMS would have finished in advance of IVY LEAGUE.
Weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge.
At a subsequent inquiry, Mr Shum was fined the sum of $5,000 for lodging a frivolous protest/objection.
Approaching the finish was checked when crowded by IVY LEAGUE (K De Melo) which shifted in.
K De Melo was severely reprimanded for making insufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting in.
Horse No 7 LOVERO (H451) Y L Chung Crowded on jumping.
Approaching the 150 Metres was steadied when crowded by IVY LEAGUE (K De Melo) which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider when the saddle on IVY LEAGUE shifted to the left side.
The Stewards were satisfied that K De Melo had made sufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting in and therefore no action was taken.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 8 IVY LEAGUE (H116) K De Melo Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 9 RED MAJESTY (E028) K Teetan Near the 1400 Metres was steadied when crowded by EIGHTEEN PALMS which was taken in by LOVERO (Apprentice Y L Chung) which shifted in.
Apprentice Chung was reprimanded.
Near the 250 Metres was steadied when crowded by IVY LEAGUE (K De Melo) which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider when the saddle on IVY LEAGUE shifted to the left side.
The Stewards were satisfied that K De Melo had made sufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting in and therefore no action was taken.
Horse No 10 TRADITION (J111) M F Poon Bumped shortly after the start, became unbalanced, shifted in and was steadied away from HAMERON.
Horse No 12 CHAIN OF GOLD (J138) L Hewitson From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Approaching the 200 Metres was briefly crowded between TRADITION and SMILING TIME.
Recap by phillip woo
Late-fancied Ivy League caused repeated interference when failing to keep a straight line in the straight drive but did hold off Simply Maverick after surging to the lead 200m out. Favourite Simply Maverick came up short by a bob of the heads after settling one off the rail behind midfield. It was another solid effort returning to his favourite Valley course. Chain Of Gold ran on nicely for third after making his run second last from gate 12. He's flashed ability to place in two of five starts. Noble Pursuit came from near last and widest out but just missed a placing. He's got the tools to win again shortly over this course. Eighteen Palms finished next best after getting checked in deep stretch by the winner after tracking the speed. He had an excuse. Hameron was impeded close to home with his move along the inside from near last. He's gone close in his past two of three starts. Show Respect had to take hold when the winner lugged in 200m out after a handy run. Lovero was badly hampered approaching the 200m following a hard run on the speed from gate 11.
