Racing Incident Report
Race Three : (488) - TRANS-ISLAND CHINALINK HANDICAP - Class 4 - 2200Meters
Horse No 1 YOUNG BRAVO (K178) J Orman After travelling a short distance was bumped by MEGA FORCE.
For some distance after the 500 Metres raced tight between MEGA FORCE and ACE WAR and made contact with both runners.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.
Before being allowed to race again, YOUNG BRAVO will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Horse No 2 SERANGOON (H296) H Bowman From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
H Bowman reported that his mount did not appreciate racing in amongst other horses and racing on the track which, whilst still rated as ""Good" had effects of some light rain which had fallen during the meeting.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 3 DOUBLE WIN (H382) D B McMonagle Jumped only fairly.
Horse No 4 SHARPEN BRIGHT (H276) M F Poon Shifted out shortly after the start and was bumped.
Horse No 5 SURE JOYFUL (G125) M Chadwick Jumped awkwardly.
Horse No 6 ACE WAR (J509) Z Purton From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Throughout the early and middle stages raced keenly and refused to settle.
Near the 500 Metres improved to the inside of YOUNG BRAVO and then raced tight to the inside of YOUNG BRAVO for some distance thereafter when YOUNG BRAVO was racing tight to the inside of MEGA FORCE.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 7 YIU CHEUNG VICTORY (J529) A Badel Bumped on jumping.
Horse No 8 PING HAI COMET (H344) K C Leung A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 10 MEGA FORCE (K200) C Y Ho Shortly after the start was bumped by SHARPEN BRIGHT which shifted out.
In the early stages raced keenly and near the 1900 Metres got its head up when being steadied away from SHARPEN BRIGHT.
Near the 500 Metres made contact with YOUNG BRAVO.
When questioned C Y Ho stated that after improving to the outside of SHARPEN BRIGHT near the 700 Metres to commence a forward move his mount then hung in when VIVA TASTE improved to his outside.
He said as a result MEGA FORCE became awkwardly placed on the heels of SHARPEN BRIGHT and was steadied when unable to hold its position between SHARPEN BRIGHT and VIVA TASTE.
Horse No 11 STAR BROSE (J463) M L Yeung Jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
After the 800 Metres STAR BROSE commenced to improve into a narrow run between SURE JOYFUL and SHARPEN BRIGHT when SHARPEN BRIGHT (M F Poon) shifted out slightly.
Near the 600 Metres SHARPEN BRIGHT then shifted back in, resulting in STAR BROSE having to be checked when crowded between SURE JOYFUL and SHARPEN BRIGHT.
M F Poon was advised in similar circumstances to exercise more care.
Approaching the 300 Metres was hampered when taken wider by YIU CHEUNG VICTORY.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 12 VIVA TASTE (K415) H Bentley Jumped awkwardly, shifted in and made contact with YIU CHEUNG VICTORY.
Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer"which had previously been reported.
Horse No PACKING HURRICANE (H137) A Atzeni Withdrawn on 3.3.26 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and replaced by Standby Declared Starter ACE WAR.
Before being allowed to race again, PACKING HURRICANE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Recap by phillip woo
Whacked to jump a clear favourite, Ace War wove a run from the rear to win going away 100m out. The stable change and step up to 2,200m worked the oracle. Early favourite Star Brose ran on nicely for second after striking some interference 600m out following a rails run from behind midfield. He relished a step up to the 2,200m of a Class Five win in December. Double Win found a couple too good after a box-seat run. It was a return to form on his return to the course and distance of a win in December. Smart City grudgingly gave way after dictating the pace from gate two. He can bob up at any moment after finishing in the mix in his past three starts at a mile up to 2,200m. Sharpen Bright stayed on for fifth down the outside after a one-off trip from midfield. He rarely produces a bad run over this trip. Sure Joyful just held his ground after a rails run from midfield. Serangoon made ground late without threatening after binding his time second last from gate 11. He was carrying a big weight after winning last start over 1,800m.
