Racing Incident Report
Race Seven : (279) - HIBISCUS HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1600Meters
Horse No 1 NEZHA (K494) J Orman On jumping became unbalanced when bumped with AUDACIOUS PURSUIT.
From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 2 FIT FOR BEAUTY (K489) J McDonald Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 3 AUDACIOUS PURSUIT (K398) H Bowman Crowded on jumping between NEZHA and MULTIDUTCH which shifted out.
From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
When questioned H Bowman stated that from a wide barrier he was instructed to find cover on the horse.
He said when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to settle further back in the field to ensure that he complied with his instructions to obtain cover.
When questioned regarding his riding from the 600 Metres and the reason his mount was held up for clear running in the Home Straight after improving to the inside of SPECIAL HEDGE, H Bowman stated that from the 600 Metres he did not wish to make a forward move as he was concerned had he shifted out that SPECIAL HEDGE would force his mount wider.
He said as a consequence he remained racing behind SPECIAL HEDGE and when that runner then shifted out near the 500 Metres AUDACIOUS PURSUIT, which was travelling well, then improved to the inside of SPECIAL HEDGE.
He added that when SPECIAL HEDGE did not continue to improve into the race AUDACIOUS PURSUIT then became held up for clear running when he was required to shift his mount to the outside of SPECIAL HEDGE in the early stages of the Home Straight to obtain clear running.
He said after he improved to the outside of SPECIAL HEDGE leaving the 300 Metres AUDACIOUS PURSUIT finished the race off in a satisfactory manner.
After considering his explanation the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Bowman were reasonable in the circumstances.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Fit For Beauty settled one out, one back before getting his head in front of Amazing Duk 150m out and narrowly prevailing for a second win from five starts. He's got a bright future. Amazing Duck would not go down without a fight after coming off the back of leader Multidutch to hit the front 350m out. He's close to a win after placings in his past two starts. Smart Fat Cat wove a run near the inside for third after making his run fourth last following an awkward start. He's building towards a win after placing in his past two runs following a step up to 1,600m. Punted late All Round Winner kept on well for fourth after a handy run one off the fence. It was a pleasing effort. Smashed in betting, Audacious Pursuit ran on late near the outside for fifth after a patient ride third last from gate 13. It was an encouraging effort carrying more weight following a win.
