Racing Incident Report
Race Three : (487) - LUNG KONG HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
Horse No 1 SURUGA BAY (J022) L Ferraris Knuckled over on jumping and shortly afterwards was crowded by COMMANDING MISSILE which shifted out.
Horse No 2 FLASH CURRENT (J500) H Bentley Jumped only fairly and then was crowded between SURUGA BAY and ISLAND BUDDY which shifted in slightly.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 3 SUNNY DARLING (J171) P N Wong Shifted out at the start and was bumped.
When questioned, Apprentice P N Wong stated that her instructions were to hold an on-pace position or lead if possible.
She said in the early stages when she observed a number of runners to her outside go forward she elected to allow ISLAND BUDDY to cross her mount leaving the 1000 Metres.
She said shortly afterwards SUNNY DARLING commenced to race keenly and as a result she was obliged to shift to the outside of ISLAND BUDDY to avoid that runner's heels which resulted in SUNNY DARLING making contact with COMMANDING MISSILE and SUNNY DARLING then being obliged to race wide and without cover thereafter when it improved to the outside of SEA EMERALD.
When questioned if there was an opportunity to hold a position to the inside of ISLAND BUDDY, Apprentice Wong agreed with the Stewards that in retrospect this would have been a better option for her.
Horse No 4 AKASHVANI (K234) L Hewitson Shifted in at the start and was bumped.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 5 SEA EMERALD (J518) J Orman On jumping was bumped by AKASHVANI which shifted in.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 7 BEAUTY FORMULA (K066) D McDonogh Noted to have blood at the mouth on arrival at the Start, was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race.
After the event, D McDonogh stated that his mount hung out throughout the race and proved difficult to control.
The racing manners of BEAUTY FORMULA were considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, BEAUTY FORMULA will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial around a bend in Hong Kong.
Horse No 9 PANDA (H466) K Teetan Jumped only fairly.
After the event, K Teetan stated that his mount was disadvantaged when it settled behind midfield with the early and middle stages of the event being run outside of standard time.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 10 ALWAYS FLUKE (H252) K De Melo After the event, K De Melo stated that under pressure in the Home Straight ALWAYS FLUKE hung in and proved difficult to ride out.
Horse No 11 COMMANDING MISSILE (G210) Y L Chung Near the 900 Metres SUNNY DARLING (Apprentice P N Wong) commenced to race keenly after being crossed by ISLAND BUDDY.
As a result, SUNNY DARLING was shifted to the outside of ISLAND BUDDY to avoid that runner's heels and as a result made contact with COMMANDING MISSILE which became unbalanced.
COMMANDING MISSILE was then steadied to obtain cover behind SUNNY DARLING to avoid racing wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 12 HAPPY FOR ALL (H181) B Thompson Shortly after the start was bumped by SUNNY DARLING which shifted out.
Between the 450 Metres and the 250 Metres was held up for clear running when being shifted to the outside of FLASH CURRENT.
Recap by phillip woo
Akashvani led from gate 12 and kept finding after straightening one length on top to defeat another debutant Sea Emerald for a smart win. He had caught the eye to win three of four trials. Sea Emerald kept on gamely for second after chasing the speed from gate 11. He had shown nice progress to win his latest of five trials and it's only a matter of time before he salutes. Favourite Flash Current ran on well down the outside for third after making his run two from the rear. It was another good run. Happy For All ran on nicely with two wider out for fourth after making his run one from the rear. He will be a hard one to go against with Class Five looming large. Raging Rapids made good ground late after a wide with cover trip from behind midfield. He's still a work in progress but has been doing his best work late in three consecutive starts and may be looking for a 1,400m trip. Always Fluke kept on one-paced after a one-off trip from better than midfield.
