Racing Incident Report
Race Nine : (9) - COTTON TREE HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Meters
Horse No 1 LUCKY SAM GOR (K114) H Bowman Approaching the 800 Metres was bumped by EXCELLENCE VALUE.
H Bowman stated that whilst the intention was to ride the horse in a more conservative manner it settled slightly further back than anticipated.
He said after commencing his run in the Home Straight he was obliged to steady his mount near the 350 Metres when disappointed for clear running between CIRCUIT CHAMPION and THE RED HARE which resulted in the horse losing momentum.
He added after this incident LUCKY SAM GOR finished the race off only fairly.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 2 THE RED HARE (K312) M F Poon Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
Horse No 3 POCKETING (L396) B Avdulla From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Horse No 5 BABY SAKURA (L230) C Y Ho Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 6 CIRCUIT CHAMPION (J428) Z Purton Near the 350 Metres became unbalanced when bumped by LUCKY SAM GOR which shifted out in an attempt to improve to the outside of THE RED HARE.
Raced very wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 7 BEAUTY CRESCENT (H334) Y L Chung Y L Chung stated that the instructions were to go forward.
He said he rode his mount along in the early stages in accordance with those instructions which resulted in BEAUTY CRESCENT racing keenly.
Horse No 8 FLYING FORTRESS (J445) H Bentley Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 9 YUEN LONG ELITE (J272) M L Yeung The start was delayed slightly when YUEN LONG ELITE was reluctant to proceed to the starting gates.
Before being allowed to race again YUEN LONG ELITE will be required to undertake a parade test and then be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial.
Jumped only fairly.
Horse No 10 TITANCK (L299) M Chadwick Approaching the 900 Metres commenced to race keenly and got its head up when being steadied to avoid BABY SAKURA.
Leaving the 400 Metres became unbalanced when positioned close to the running rail.
Horse No 11 EXCELLENCE VALUE (K093) P N Wong Approaching the 800 Metres became unbalanced when crowded between LUCKY SAM GOR and CIRCUIT CHAMPION which shifted in slightly.
Recap by phillip woo
Early favourite Baky Sakura had a box-seat run and just got up to win a thriller for a fourth win and two placings from seven starts. He has the tools to head higher. Punted late Flying Fortress made it close on the wire after a one-off trip from midfield. The step up to 1,400m nearly worked the oracle after ending last season with four solid runs over 1,200m. Beauty Cresent nearly caused an upset after leading 250m out following a speed tracking run outside Aeroinvincible from gate eight. It was a return to form after finishing last at his final four starts last term. Aeroinvincible gradually faded late after dictating the pace from gate two. He should come on for the outing. Post-time favourite Circuit Champion was doing his best work late down the outside for fifth.
