Racing Incident Report
Race Nine : (239) - JAPAN HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1800Meters
Horse No 1 MOMENTS IN TIME (H474) H Bowman Near the 1600 Metres was checked and shifted to the inside of STUNNING PEACH when that runner lost ground.
When questioned, H Bowman stated that the intention was to ride MOMENTS IN TIME conservatively in the early stages as the horse had a tendency to race keenly in its most recent race starts.
He said as the start was effected MOMENTS IN TIME shifted in abruptly and made contact with STAR CONTACT and then shortly after was steadied when crowded to the inside of FLAMINGO TRILLION which shifted in.
Trainer C S Shum confirmed the instructions and said he issued such instructions as MOMENTS IN TIME had raced disappointingly when ridden in a forward position in its most recent starts when it raced keenly.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 2 SENOR TOBA (G103) A Hamelin On jumping was checked when crowded between STAR CONTACT which was taken in and STUNNING PEACH which was taken out slightly by KARMA.
Horse No 3 CHILL CHIBI (H109) J McDonald Jumped only fairly.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 5 ATULLIBIGEAL (G173) B Avdulla Held up making the Home Turn.
Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out when positioned close to MR ASCENDENCY.
Horse No 6 KARMA (G392) C Y Ho After the event, C Y Ho reported that he was instructed to settle his mount where comfortable but after jumping well KARMA raced in a more forward position than it had at its most recent starts.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 8 STUNNING PEACH (J301) Z Purton When questioned, Z Purton stated that after being shifted in behind MR ASCENDENCY, STUNNING PEACH reacted adversely and, in his opinion, attempted to jump a section on the track at the 1600 Metres.
He said as a result STUNNING PEACH lost ground when it became badly unbalanced.
He added when placed under pressure in the Home Straight STUNNING PEACH became held up for clear running behind RED HARE KING for some distance after the 300 Metres and approaching the 150 Metres was obliged to steady his mount when disappointed for clear running between RED HARE KING and FLAMINGO TRILLION when both runners shifted ground slightly.
He said as a result his mount lost momentum when it could not be tested for some distance thereafter.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
The racing manners of STUNNING PEACH were considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, STUNNING PEACH will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial amongst other runners.
In addition, before STUNNING PEACH is permitted to race at Happy Valley again, it will also be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial at Happy Valley.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 12 STAR CONTACT (E472) L Hewitson In the early stages raced tight between STUNNING PEACH and MOMENTS IN TIME.
Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Recap by phillip woo
Second favourite Chill Chibi ran on nicely to get up in the final few metres after settling on the rail behind midfield for back-to-back wins. He's a Valley freak. Moments In Time flashed down the outside to finish a close second after he was ridden for luck at the rear from gate 10. Red Hare King did everything right but found a couple just too good after racing to the lead near the inside 150m out. Star Contact stayed on nicely for fourth after getting left without cover three deep from around midfield 900m out at his first go over the Valley 1,800m. Flamingo Trillion wasn't beaten far in the end after going forward three wide without cover to sit second 900m out from gate 11. It was a good effort. Mr Ascendency ran on reasonably well with two wider out after turning the final bend one from the rear. Punted late, Karma only plodded when asked for an effort settling one-out, one-back mid-race. He's better suited at Sha Tin. Favourite Stunning Peach could not gain a clear run in the straight drive after clipping heels and nearly coming down 1,600m out.
