Racing Incident Report
Race One : (745) - MOUNT BUTLER HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1650Meters
Horse No 1 MASTER OF HUMOR (K281) C Y Ho A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 2 SETANTA (G095) L Ferraris From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Horse No 3 FAMILY FORTUNE (H447) J Moreira Approaching the 150 Metres shifted to the outside of THE WAY WE WIN to secure clear running and as a result made contact with WAH MAY WAI WAI.
After obtaining clear running to the outside of THE WAY WE WIN passing the 150 Metres was then inconvenienced when taken wider by THE WAY WE WIN which shifted out under pressure.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 4 PRINCE ALEX (G307) B Avdulla When questioned regarding his riding and the reason he made a forward move from the 700 Metres B Avdulla stated that his instructions were to obtain a handy position.
He said after settling back in a midfield position following HAPPY BUDDIES he elected to make a forward move from the 700 Metres although he was aware that the early and middle stages of the event had been run inside of standard time.
He said his decision to go forward at that point was due to the fact that PRINCE ALEX is one-paced and that he was of the opinion HAPPY BUDDIES and SMART TRIO, which were racing in advance of PRINCE ALEX, would not provide him with the opportunity to improve into the event.
He added that he was also influenced by the fact that PRINCE ALEX had won previously when being ridden in a similar manner.
Horse No 5 HAPPY BUDDIES (K344) K C Leung Shortly after the start shifted out and made contact with THE WAY WE WIN.
Throughout the early stages raced keenly.
Near the 1000 Metres was steadied to avoid SMART TRIO (L Hewitson) which shifted in when not sufficiently clear.
L Hewitson was advised to exercise more care.
Horse No 6 TELECOM POWER (J332) H Bentley H Bentley stated that his instructions were to attempt to find a midfield position with cover.
He said when caught wide in the early stages and when a number of runners showed superior pace he elected to settle slightly further back than intended to ensure that his mount was able to obtain cover.
Horse No 7 ZETTA FORCE (J546) C L Chau From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 150 Metres was steadied when disappointed for clear running between CASA LEGEND and PRINCE ALEX which shifted out.
C L Chau reported that his mount hung in when placed under pressure in the Home Straight.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 8 MANYTHANKS FOREVER (J065) A Atzeni After improving to the inside of SMART TRIO approaching the 1400 Metres then raced tight near the 1300 Metres to the inside of SMART TRIO when SMART TRIO shifted in slightly before being corrected by its rider.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Family Fortune came off the fence one off at the 200m and rallied nicely to reel in The Way We Win in the concluding stages from midfield for a third Valley 1,650m win from four rides under Joao Moreira this season. He should find things harder next time out in Class Four. The Way We Win gave a cheeky sight for second after setting a quick pace from gate six. It was his best run from nine starts after an early season second over 1,400m. Punted late Telecom Power ran on nicely down the outside for third after making his run third last from gate 10. He was able to build on a pleasing fourth last start. Setanta made ground late near the inside to just snatch fourth after biding his time three from the rear. It was another honest effort over the Valley 1,650m. Wah May Wai Wai whacked on one paced after getting every chance following a prominent run on the fence. He's a 28-run local maiden for a reason. Manythanks Forever gradually faded after working forward three wide to eventually sit outside the leader from gate 12. It wasn't a bad run but he is more effective over 1,400m at Sha Tin.
