Recap by phillip woo

Punted late Golden Fortune capitalised on a dream run in the box seat from gate seven to take control 180m out for a first win at his 13th start. He was fitter for a pleasing sixth first up at Sha Tin this term after putting the writing on the wall with seconds in two of four late season runs down in Class Five. Kingly Demeanor kept on gamely for second after dictating the pace from gate nine. He will be hard to run down next time with this run under his belt. Specked late Good Luck Win stayed on gamely to just take third after a prominent run wide without cover from gate 10. It was an encouraging effort for his new trainer. Perfect Pairing dashed late for fourth after making his run at the rear from gate 12. He relished a return to the Valley but prefers 2,200m. Ocean Impact ran on late near the outside to just miss fourth place after a patient ride three wide towards the rear. He should find his mark shortly in this grade. Grand Turbo kept grinding away for sixth after a rails run from midfield. Young Fighter weakened after a pace-stalking run. Favourite Can't Go Wong ran on without threatening near the inside.

Racing Incident Report

Race One : (79) - BEDFORD HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1800Meters



Horse No 1 CAN'T GO WONG (H087) Z Purton Shifted out shortly after the start and bumped SHARPEN BRIGHT.

When questioned Z Purton stated that whilst his mount jumped satisfactorily it did not show sufficient pace in the early stages despite being ridden along to hold a more forward position.

He said this resulted in CAN'T GO WONG settling slightly further back than intended.

He added that from the 500 Metres his mount was unable to improve when held up behind GRAND TURBO and SHARPEN BRIGHT and as a result he was obliged to steady CAN'T GO WONG near the 450 Metres.

He said making the Home Turn CAN'T GO WONG shifted in and made contact with the running rail when SHARPEN BRIGHT gave ground and shifted in towards CAN'T GO WONG.

He further stated that from this point on CAN'T GO WONG found it difficult to make up ground in the Home Straight, particularly with the middle stages of the event being run outside of standard time.

Trainer F C Lor stated the horse had pleased him leading into the race and agreed with the opinion of Jockey Purton.

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

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 2 SHARPEN BRIGHT (H276) K Teetan Bumped shortly after the start.

For some distance near the 500 Metres raced in restricted room between GOOD LUCK WIN and GRAND TURBO.

Horse No 3 GRAND TURBO (L138) R Kingscote For some distance near the 500 Metres GRAND TURBO and SHARPEN BRIGHT raced tight to the inside of GOOD LUCK WIN (K C Leung) which shifted in.

K C Leung was reprimanded.

Horse No 4 KINGLY DEMEANOR (H486) M L Yeung Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 5 OCEAN IMPACT (J502) L Ferraris L Ferraris stated that his instructions were to hold a midfield position.

He said when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to settle further back in the field than intended to avoid covering additional ground.

Horse No 6 YOUNG FIGHTER (K464) E C W Wong Near the 100 Metres shifted in and away from GOOD LUCK WIN.

Horse No 7 SMILING ONE (K336) M F Poon In the early stages raced keenly and for some distance near the 1500 Metres was steadied to avoid GOOD LUCK WIN.

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

Horse No 8 GOOD LUCK WIN (J135) K C Leung Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Horse No 9 GOLDEN FORTUNE (K500) B Avdulla Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 10 SPLENDID FORCE (K120) J Orman Near the 300 Metres became unbalanced when being steadied to avoid CAN'T GO WONG when CAN'T GO WONG gave ground at that point.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.

Before being allowed to race again, SPLENDID FORCE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Horse No 11 PERFECT PAIRING (J331) A Atzeni Slow to begin.

From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Horse No 12 TURF PHOENIX (J294) H T Mo H T Mo stated that he was instructed to hold a midfield position.

He said he rode his mount in accordance with his instructions in the early stages but TURF PHOENIX raced keenly and refused to settle in the early and middle stages.

Trainer K H Ting confirmed the instructions and stated he issued those instructions as TURF PHOENIX had failed to run on when previously ridden in a forward position.
