Racing Incident Report
Race Three : (710) - LOIRE HANDICAP - Class 4 - 2200Meters
Horse No 1 BEAUTY VIVA (K155) H Bowman Jumped only fairly.
From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Horse No 5 ROMANTIC FANTASY (H168) A Badel Raced wide and without cover from the 900 Metres.
Near the 150 Metres made contact with PERFECT PAIRING due to both runners shifting ground.
Horse No 6 PERPETUAL POWER (J326) C L Chau Near the 50 Metres bumped with HAKKA RADIANCE which shifted out.
Horse No 7 MANAGEMENT FOLKS (E496) K Teetan Jumped only fairly.
Near the 100 Metres was eased and shifted to the inside of HAKKA RADIANCE to continue into clear running.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 8 PERFECT PAIRING (J331) M L Yeung Near the 150 Metres made contact with ROMANTIC FANTASY due to both runners shifting ground.
As a result, M L Yeung, the rider of PERFECT PAIRING, was obliged to stop riding and straighten for a short distance when his mount became unbalanced.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 9 KINGLY DEMEANOR (H486) Y L Chung Over the concluding stages hung in and proved difficult to ride out.
As a result Y L Chung was restricted in his ability to fully test the horse.
After the event Y L Chung stated that he was instructed to go forward and lead if possible.
He said KINGLY DEMEANOR bounded on jumping and as a result settled further back than had been intended.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 10 HAKKA RADIANCE (J105) A Atzeni Near the 50 Metres shifted out and made contact with PERPETUAL POWER.
After the event A Atzeni stated that his mount was obliged throughout the early stages to take the field up to the leader which set a fast pace.
He said when LUCKY BANNER commenced to give ground near the 600 Metres his mount was then pressured in the lead by ROMANTIC FANTASY and as a result HAKKA RADIANCE finished the race off only fairly when placed under pressure in the Home Straight.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 11 LUCKY BANNER (G354) B Thompson When questioned B Thompson stated that he had expected to lead the event from an inside barrier.
He said in the early stages as he was aware LUCKY BANNER can race keenly he did not push his mount to hold the lead and LUCKY BANNER was able to show its natural speed to obtain the front.
He said in the early stages LUCKY BANNER then commenced to race keenly and made the turn into the Home Straight on the first occasion awkwardly.
He added that whilst he was aware LUCKY BANNER was setting a fast pace inside of standard time throughout the early stages the horse would not respond to his efforts to restrain and set a more sustainable pace.
He said it was not until near the 1200 Metres that LUCKY BANNER responded to his efforts to come back and having regard to the way it raced in the early stages the horse was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight.
After considering his explanation and viewing the patrol films the Stewards were satisfied that Jockey Thompson had made his best endeavours to reduce the pace that the horse set in the early stages.
Horse No 12 PING HAI COMET (H344) M Chadwick Sent for sampling post-race.
Recap by phillip woo
Ping Hai Comet sat third behind the tearaway leader and got up 150m out near the inside for a maiden win at his ninth start. He appreciated a step up to 2,200m after a career-best fourth last start over the Sha Tin 1,800m. Perfect Pairing finished willingly near the outside for second after making his run behind midfield on the fence. It was another solid effort carrying five pounds more following a win. Romantic Fantasy stayed on nicely for third after a one-off trip from midfield. He's building towards a win in his past three of four starts this term following a ligament injury. Joyful Prosperity stayed on well for fourth after a rails run from midfield. He's gone all right in both Valley 2,200m runs. Perpetual Power made ground late for fifth without threatening the top four after making his run fourth last from gate 12. It was his best effort from four starts at his first run beyond a mile trip. Early favourite Hakka Radiance succumbed late after assuming the lead 450m out chasing the hot pace of runaway leader Lucky Banner. Punted late Kingly Demeanor ran on without threatening after a one-off trip from behind midfield.
