Recap by phillip woo

Bright Day settled eight lengths off a quick pace in midfield and wide without cover from gate three before coming over the top of them to win going away 60m out. He’s now won three times from 26 starts. He was suited by the pace but was notching a second win from four consecutive runs. Dan Attack got up for second after getting slightly impeded 50m out following a one-off trip from behind midfield. He’s as honest as the day is long over the Valley 1,200m. Outsider Grit Spirit zoomed home late to just snatch third after switching into the open with two wider out at the 150m following a wide trip travelling three from the rear. It was clearly his best run from five local starts following a downgrade. Favourite Loving Vibes lost a placing late after vying for the lead outside Holmes A Court from gate 10. It was a good effort in defeat. Very Grateful just failed to fill a top-four spot after settling four lengths away in fourth from gate two. Glorious Dynasty dashed late down the outside to just win a blanket finish for sixth after making his run second last from gate 11. It was an encouraging effort.

Racing Incident Report

Race Two : (30) - LIDO HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters

Horse No 2 TRUE BROTHERS (L381) A Badel Jumped awkwardly and made contact with the right side of the starting gate.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 3 BRIGHT DAY (J530) K C Leung Near the 50 Metres rider K C Leung dropped his right rein.

Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 4 GRIT SPIRIT (L116) C L Chau Shifted in shortly after the start and became unbalanced when it bumped TACTICAL COMMAND.

C L Chau reported that his mount lay in under pressure in the Home Straight.

He said as a result near the 150 Metres he was obliged to steady and shifted to the outside of VERY GRATEFUL to continue into clear running.

Horse No 5 HOLMES A COURT (J511) B Avdulla B Avdulla reported that his instructions were to go forward and lead.

He said HOLMES A COURT was pressured in the lead by LOVING VIBES which resulted in the early stages being run inside of standard time.

He said as a consequence HOLMES A COURT was unable to finish the race off in the Home Straight.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 7 CALIFORNIA BAY (K364) K Teetan Slow to begin.

Horse No 8 DAN ATTACK (H317) H Bentley Shortly after the start raced in restricted room between HOLMES A COURT and BRIGHT DAY which shifted out slightly.

Over the concluding stages could not be fully ridden out when racing in restricted room between LOVING VIBES and BRIGHT DAY which shifted in slightly.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 10 LEGEND STAR (K271) Y L Chung From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Horse No 11 LOVING VIBES (J359) A Atzeni When questioned A Atzeni stated that his instructions, with its light weight, were to go forward and attempt to lead if possible.

He said having regard to his instructions he rode his mount along in the early stages in an endeavour to cross runners to his inside.

He said when HOLMES A COURT held its position to his inside he then commenced to attempt to steady his mount to race outside of HOLMES A COURT.

He said when LOVING VIBES raced keenly and did not respond to his efforts to set a more sustainable pace this resulted in the early stages being run inside of standard time.

He added that near the 500 Metres when LOVING VIBES continued to race keenly it established a small margin in advance of HOLMES A COURT and then in the Home Straight LOVING VIBES finished the race off reasonably well considering the manner in which it raced throughout the early stages.

Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued and stated that as the horse does have a respiratory issue it performs best when not overly restrained.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 12 TACTICAL COMMAND (H197) M F Poon Shortly after the start shifted out and away from KANSAS and then became unbalanced when it made contact with GRIT SPIRIT which shifted in.
