Racing Incident Report
Race Eight : (715) - GARONNE HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters
Horse No 1 THE AZURE (J227) K C Leung From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 600 Metres was steadied to avoid I P O BROS which was giving ground.
THE AZURE then raced tight between I P O BROS and AMAZING AWARD for some distance thereafter.
Near the 200 Metres was shifted to the inside of SATIRICAL FAN to continue into clear running.
Over the concluding stages THE AZURE could not be ridden out when held up behind RUN RUN TIMING.
Horse No 2 VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (J079) M Chadwick Near the 1000 Metres was taken wider when SATIRICAL FAN shifted out.
VIVA GRACIOUSNESS then raced wide and without cover for the remainder of the event.
Horse No 3 SKY VINO (K054) E C W Wong In the early stages raced keenly and near the 1300 Metres was steadied to avoid SATIRICAL FAN.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 4 SATIRICAL FAN (J214) J Orman After the event J Orman reported that his mount raced keenly and hung out throughout the early and middle stages and near the 1000 Metres shifted out when being steadied away from ICONICAL.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Lay in over the final 200 Metres.
After the event L Hewitson reported that from a wide barrier he was instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages.
He said the instructions were issued to him on the basis that FORTUNE STAR had led at its most recent start and had performed in a disappointing manner.
Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued.
Horse No 12 QUICK QUICK WIN (K102) M L Yeung Noted to have blood at the mouth on arrival at the Start, was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race.
Jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
The performance of QUICK QUICK WIN, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.
As this was the second consecutive occasion that QUICK QUICK WIN had finished tailed out, the horse will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in consecutive barrier trials and be subjected to an official veterinary examination which must include additional diagnostic assessments.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 6 SWAGGER BRO (K089) B Avdulla Reared after being placed in the starting gates and sat down behind.
Was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said the horse was lame in its left hind leg and found not to be suitable to race.
Acting on this advice SWAGGER BRO was withdrawn by order of the Stewards.
The Stewards ruled that SWAGGER BRO will be required to attend barrier practice to the satisfaction of the Starter prior to performing satisfactorily in a barrier trial and being subjected to an official veterinary examination before being allowed to race again.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Sky Vino travelled one off and quickened nicely with one wider out to win going away 100m out for a second victory from his past five starts. He will be in Class Three now but there's likely more to come from the three-year-old. Amazing Award ran on nicely to grab second in the concluding stages after making his run one off from behind midfield. He was suited by the race tempo. Viva Graciousness stuck on gamely for third despite a prominent run wide without cover the entire trip from gate 11. It was a return to form after a brace of dull runs. Run Run Timing wouldn't go down without a fight after getting hounded for the lead by Iconical from gate one. He's a good money spinner for connections but isn't a prolific winner. Iconical was next best after tracking the speed from gate five. He kept on OK in back-to-back runs after making all in last month. Fortune Star ran on from second last from gate eight without threatening. The Azure was held up for a clear run over the last 100m following a patient ride third last from gate 12. Swagger Bro was restless in the gates and withdrawn on veterinary advice.
