Racing Incident Report
Race Three : (747) - WONG NAI CHUNG GAP HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
Horse No 1 YOUNG ARROW (J401) E Brown Jumped only fairly.
Bumped leaving the 600 Metres.
When questioned regarding his riding from the 600 Metres and as to whether there was an opportunity to follow SAME TO YOU into the race E Brown stated that his instructions were to obtain cover and he had expected to take a handy position where his mount ultimately settled.
He said after following CAPTAIN LINK during the race he was reluctant to shift out and follow SAME TO YOU as he felt that runner had a tough run with the race being run inside of standard time and he was of the opinion that horse would not provide him with the opportunity to improve into the event.
He said for this reason he remained racing behind CAPTAIN LINIK, however, when FORERUNNER improved quickly to his outside near the 500 Metres and CAPTAIN LINK did not improve, this resulted in YOUNG ARROW being held up for clear running making the Home Turn before finishing the race off reasonably well in the Home Straight.
Trainer D J Whyte confirmed the instructions were to obtain cover but expressed disappointment with Jockey Brown's decision not to shift out to follow SAME TO YOU after the 600 Metres.
Jockey Brown agreed with the Stewards that he had made an error of judgement by not shifting to the outside of CAPTAIN LINK after the 600 Metres which would have resulted in his mount obtaining clear running on the Home Turn and into the Home Straight.
Jockey Brown was advised that in future he would be expected to show better judgement than he did on this occasion.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 2 BEAUTY GLORY (E459) Y L Chung Y L Chung stated that his mount was disadvantaged by being pressured in the lead by WINALOT and as a consequence gave ground in the Home Straight.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 3 CAPTAIN LINK (K515) J Moreira Bumped on jumping.
J Moreira could offer no excuse for the horse's disappointing performance.
Trainer C Fownes advised the horse had pleased him since its last start and the only explanation he could offer was that the horse may not have been suited by the early stages of the event being run slightly inside of standard time.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer" which had previously been reported.
The performance of CAPTAIN LINK was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts.
Before being allowed to race again, CAPTAIN LINK will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Horse No 4 LEADING AGILITY (K553) L Hewitson Crowded shortly after the start.
Throughout the early stages raced ungenerously and got its head up when being eased and shifted in to obtain a position closer to the rail.
Badly held up for clear running making the Home Turn.
For some distance near the 400 Metres got its head up when being checked to avoid YOUNG ARROW.
Horse No 5 GOLDEN EMPIRE (E490) C L Chau Approaching the 400 Metres was hampered when taken wider.
Near the 250 Metres shifted in and made contact with FORZA LEADER on two occasions.
C L Chau stated that he was instructed not to make use of the horse in the early stages.
He said whilst GOLDEN EMPIRE commenced well he allowed it to settle towards the rear of the field as instructed.
Trainer B Crawford confirmed the instructions and said he issued those instructions as GOLDEN EMPIRE had not been finishing its races off at it most recent starts when being ridden in a forward position.
Horse No 6 WINALOT (L197) L Ferraris L Ferraris confirmed that the instructions were to go forward.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 7 FORERUNNER (G465) A Badel Shifted out shortly after the start and made contact with LEADING AGILITY.
Near the 50 Metres made contact with SAME TO YOU due to both runners shifting ground.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 8 FREE PONY (K229) K Teetan Shifted out on jumping and made contact with CAPTAIN LINK.
In the middle stages raced keenly and near the 600 Metres shifted in, made contact with the running rail and became unbalanced.
K Teetan stated that his mount would be better suited by being ridden in a more conservative manner than what it was tonight.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 9 MARVEL AND GOLD (K109) M F Poon Jumped only fairly.
Leaving the 600 Metres shifted out when being steadied to avoid FREE PONY and made contact with YOUNG ARROW.
Held up for clear running on the Home Turn.
Horse No 10 FORZA LEADER (L034) K C Leung Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded between GOLDEN EMPIRE which shifted in slightly and LEADING AGILITY which was taken out by FORERUNNER.
Approaching the 400 Metres was hampered when taken wider by LEADING AGILITY which shifted out when being checked.
Passing the 300 Metres K C Leung dropped his left rein for a number of strides when racing tight between GOLDEN EMPIRE and LEADING AGILITY.
Horse No 12 SAME TO YOU (H057) A Atzeni Near the 50 Metres made contact with FORERUNNER due to both runners shifting ground.
Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Recap by phillip woo
Punted late Forerunner took off from behind midfield 500m out to lead 60m out en route to a deserved second career win at his 10th start this term. He had been knocking on the door with seconds and a fourth from his past three starts. Firming late in betting, Same To You found one just too good after leading 250m out following a wide trip without cover sitting third in the run from gate five. He was able to back up a placing last start. Leading Agility ran on nicely with three wider out for third after getting hampered rounding the home bend following a rails run from behind midfield. It was another fine effort carrying 7lb more following a win. Forza Leader ran on nicely for fourth after making his run second last from gate 10. He proved a fourth last start at massive odds was not a fluke. Favourite Young Arrow made only a mild bid after a one-off trip from midfield. He couldn't build on thirds in back-to-back runs. Golden Empire ran on without threatening travelling third last from gate 11. Beauty Glory weakened over the final 100m after getting hounded for the lead by Winalot.
