Recap by phillip woo

Well fancied Audacious Pursuit improved from near the rear 600m out to lead 100m out and just prevailed for a third win and second over the Valley 1,650m from 14 starts. He was suited by the swift pace. Rising Phoenix made it close on the wire after a one-off trip from midfield. It was much-improved effort second up following a gear change to visors at his first start over the Valley 1,650m. Prestige Good found a couple too good after leading 250m out following a prominent run. He was able to back up a third over 2,000m at his final start last term. Pope Cody dashed well for fourth after biding his time second last from gate two. It was a good effort carrying 7lb more following a win. Flying Fortune ran on steadily for fifth after a rails run from midfield. Specked late Legend Winner ran on without threatening after making his run fourth last from gate 10. Refusetobeenglish beat a handful of runners from the rear of the field. Favourite Dazzling Fit threw in the towel after getting cleaned up 200m out following a rails run from behind midfield. Uranus Star faded after chasing the hot pace of Run Run Smart.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight : (86) - HING FAT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1650Meters



Horse No 1 DAZZLING FIT (K298) Z Purton Was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

When questioned Z Purton stated that after following FLYING FORTUNE during the event he improved to that runner's inside near the 350 Metres as he felt FLYING FORTUNE was under pressure and he would be able to make ground to its inside.

He said he also had expected the leaders to shift away from the rail as had been the racing pattern during tonight and this influenced his decision to save ground.

He added that when FLYING FORTUNE improved into the event better than he had expected and RUN RUN SMART and DO YOU JUST which had set a fast pace in front commenced to give ground, he then became badly held up behind RUN RUN SMART and DO YOU JUST near the 250 Metres and as a consequence he was obliged to check his mount for some distance approaching the 100 Metres.

He further stated that after losing significant momentum at this point DAZZLING FIT finished the race only fairly thereafter.

After considering his explanation the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Purton were reasonable in the circumstances.

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

Horse No 2 POPE CODY (K313) A Badel Jumped only fairly.

Held up on the Home Turn.

Near the 200 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when being shifted to the outside of DO YOU JUST.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 3 PRESTIGE GOOD (K131) R Kingscote When placed under pressure in the Home Straight hung in, resulting in its rider R Kingscote having to stop riding and straighten his mount near the 200 Metres.

Horse No 4 DO YOU JUST (L094) Y L Chung When questioned regarding his riding Y L Chung stated that his instructions were to go forward and lead.

He said after establishing a position one-off to the outside of URANUS STAR, when URANUS STAR was crossed near the 1000 Metres and looked to shift out, this would have resulted in his mount being forced to race three wide and without cover.

He said for this reason and whilst recognizing the pace of the event was being run inside of standard time, he elected to continue forward of URANUS STAR to ensure that URANUS STAR remained racing on the rail behind RUN RUN SMART.

He added this resulted in the pace of the event being run faster than he would have anticipated.

He further stated that his decision to go forward was influenced by the fact that DO YOU JUST races best when able to race without cover.

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

Horse No 5 RUN RUN SMART (K080) H Y Yuen Near the 200 Metres was inconvenienced when momentarily crowded by PRESTIGE GOOD which hung in as it was being corrected by its rider.

When questioned regarding the fast early pace set during the event Apprentice H Y Yuen stated that her instructions were to go forward with a view to sitting outside URANUS STAR, a horse she had expected to lead.

She said after being caught wide in the early stages she had to make use of her mount to cross DO YOU JUST near the 1300 Metres and this resulted in her mount being positioned approximately half a length in front of URANUS STAR.

She added although she was aware her mount was setting a fast pace in front she elected to continue forward to cross URANUS STAR near the 1000 Metres to avoid racing in an awkward position to that runner's outside.

She said after crossing URANUS STAR, RUN RUN SMART then was further disadvantaged when DO YOU JUST improved to her outside which resulted in the pace of the event being run faster than she would have perferred.

After considering her explanation the Stewards found the tactics that she adopted were reasonable in the circumstances, however, she was told, wherever possible, she should endeavour to set a more sustainable pace.

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

Horse No 6 CALL ME TOPSEED (K357) A Atzeni Near the 150 Metres was inconvenienced when taken wider by LEGEND WINNER.

Horse No 7 LEGEND WINNER (L032) L Hewitson Near the 600 Metres was eased when momentarily crowded between AUDACIOUS PURSUIT and DAZZLING FIT, both of which shifted ground slightly.

Near the 150 Metres was hampered when taken wider by POPE CODY (A Badel) which shifted to the outside of DO YOU JUST to improve.

A Badel was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Horse No 8 RISING PHOENIX (J498) P N Wong Near the 1200 Metres was steadied to avoid PRESTIGE GOOD which was racing tight to the inside of CALL ME TOPSEED.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 9 AUDACIOUS PURSUIT (K398) E C W Wong From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 11 URANUS STAR (K511) M Chadwick Near the 1000 Metres was steadied to avoid RUN RUN SMART (Apprentice H Y Yuen) which shifted in when insufficiently clear.

Apprentice Yuen was advised to exercise more care.

Horse No 12 REFUSETOBEENGLISH (K362) K C Leung Slow to begin.
