Racing Incident Report
Race One : (708) - DORDOGNE HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1200Meters
Horse No 1 VIGOR ELLEEGANT (J375) C L Chau Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 2 ACCOLADE START (H331) K Teetan Shifted in at the start and was bumped.
Horse No 4 SKY PROPHET (J095) H Bowman Bumped at the start.
Near the 350 Metres was eased when racing tight between WIND SPEEDER and SPEEDY SMARTIE which shifted out to improve.
Horse No 5 EVER SMART (J179) H Bentley After the event H Bentley stated that when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to allow EVER SMART to continue forward to cross runners to his inside to avoid racing wide.
He added that in retrospect EVER SMART may not have been suited by leading the event as it races best when able to make up ground from behind runners.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 6 JOYFUL LIFE (H426) E C W Wong After the event Apprentice E C W Wong stated that his mount travelled satisfactorily in the early stages but failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight and he could offer no explanation for its disappointing performance.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 7 SPEEDY SMARTIE (H108) B Avdulla Jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of B Avdulla, 5th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse's finishing position, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ensure that he fully rides his mounts out to the finish of the race.
Horse No 8 GALLANT GOODY (H434) A Hamelin After the event A Hamelin could offer no excuse in relation to his mount's disappointing performance.
Horse No 9 ALMIGHTY KICK (J254) K C Leung Jumped only fairly and shortly after the start was crowded between SKY PROPHET and ACCOLADE START which shifted in.
Horse No 10 DOUBLE SHOW (G250) L Hewitson For a short distance near the 250 Metres raced tight to the inside of JOYFUL LIFE which shifted in before being corrected by its rider.
After the event L Hewitson stated that from a more favourable barrier tonight DOUBLE SHOW was able to hold an on-pace position without having to make use of the horse to do so.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 12 WIND SPEEDER (E281) M L Yeung Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
After the event M L Yeung stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position but his mount did not show sufficient pace in the early stages to do so.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Recap by phillip woo
Vigor Elleegant settled one off the fence in third and soared clear one hitting the front 100m out for a maiden win at his 10th start. He did place second over this Valley trip in January and it was first time in Class Five. Double Show just took second after settling fourth on the fence. It was a return to form following a 126-day break. Well-backed Flying Phantom ran on nicely through the centre to nearly grab second after making his run one-off travelling midfield. It was another minor placing for him. Sky Prophet whizzed home late near the outside to take fourth settling fourth last from a tricky gate. Punted late Speedy Smartie ran on steadily to just miss a top four spot from behind midfield. It was another honest effort. Favourite Ever Smart weakened in the run to the wire after turning the final bend nearly two lengths on top, after leading 1,050m out from gate five. He couldn't back up placings in two of three prior starts. Winning Heart ran on without threatening settling second last from the widest draw. He couldn't back up a last-start win carrying five pounds more.
