After being crossed by WINNING DIAMOND approaching the 1300 Metres commenced to race keenly and was steadied to avoid WINNING DIAMOND. When questioned Apprentice H Y Yuen stated that her instructions were to hold a handy position with cover. She said in the early stages LOVELY MILES showed sufficient pace to hold a position behind the leader WINNING DIAMOND. She said approaching the 1100 Metres when her mount was racing keenly she was reluctant to make use of it to prevent SUPER SICARIO from shifting in as she was concerned this would result in her mount racing too keenly. She said as a result SUPER SICARIO was able to obtain a position in advance of LOVELY MILES and behind WINNING DIAMOND near the 1100 Metres. When questioned as the reason why her mount was obliged to race wide and without cover from the 1000 Metres, Apprentice Yuen stated that when making the turn near the 1000 Metres her mount shifted out which provided an opportunity for GOR GOR to obtain a position one-off behind SUPER SICARIO and this resulted in her mount being obliged to race wide and without cover thereafter. She further stated that after making contact with GOR GOR near the 550 Metres her mount shifted out which resulted in TELECOM POWER then improving to her inside and LOVELY MILES being obliged to race very wide making the Home Turn. Trainer P F Yiu confirmed the instructions were consistent with previous instructions he issued at the horse’s most recent starts. The Stewards advised Apprentice Yuen that she had made two errors of judgement in the early stages firstly near the 1100 Metres by not making a greater effort to hold her position behind WINNING DIAMOND to prevent SUPER SICARIO from shifting in and secondly near the 1000 Metres by permitting her mount to shift out to a three wide position which afforded GOR GOR the opportunity to obtain a position one-off following SUPER SICARIO. She was further advised that whilst acknowledging her inexperience as an apprentice jockey in future she would be expected to show better judgement than what she did during the early stages of this race. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained a laceration to the right hind cannon.

H Bentley stated that after obtaining a handy position behind LOVELY MILES in the early stages his mount was shuffled back in the field when LOVELY MILES did not hold its position behind the leaders. He said after then having to make a run from the 600 Metres and being briefly held up on the Home Turn TELECOM POWER did not finish its race off in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. The performance of TELECOM POWER was considered disappointing. Before being allowed to race again, TELECOM POWER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

When questioned if there was an opportunity to allow her mount to stride forward approaching the 1000 Metres to avoid racing wide and to not continue to have to restrain her mount Apprentice Yuen stated that having regard to her instructions which included that she was to obtain cover and not lead, she elected to remain racing wide and without cover until near the 700 Metres.

Lay out in the early stages of the Home Straight and near the 250 Metres L Hewitson was required to change his whip through to his left hand.

C Y Ho reported that the intention was to hold a more forward position, however, after FLOWING RICHES jumped awkwardly, this prevented him from being able to ride in accordance with his instructions and as a result settled further back. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of C Y Ho, 6th 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.

No report.

Shortly after the start was bumped by ARMOUR WAR EAGLE and became unbalanced. A Badel reported that he was instructed to endeavour to obtain a position with cover. He said from the outside barrier he was caught wide in the early stages and when the early stages of the event were being run outside of standard time his mount commenced to race keenly. He said he therefore elected to stride forward and obtained a position outside the leaders albeit wide and without cover. He added that as a result BETTER AND BETTER was not able to finish the race off in the Home Straight and would be better suited being ridden more conservatively. Trainer F C Lor confirmed the instructions issued. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Shortly after the start was checked when crowded between ARMOUR WAR EAGLE and VIEW OF COSMOS which shifted out. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported.

He said in the early stages he was able to shift his mount in behind runners and settle at the rear of the field. When questioned regarding his riding on the Home Turn and the early part of the Home Straight and if there was an opportunity to shift to the outside sooner than what he did, Jockey Ho stated that when he observed LUCKY BID shift out his intention was to improve between LUCKY BID and KYOTO SPRING, however, when LUCKY BID then shifted back in, ANOTHER WORLD was then disappointed for this run. He added he became held up for some distance thereafter before shifting to the outside of LUCKY BID near the 250 Metres where he was able to secure clear running. Trainer C H Yip confirmed the instructions were to ride the horse in a conservative manner to offset the outside barrier. He added that he also asked Jockey Ho to endeavour to look for inside runs in the Home Straight to save ground.

When questioned Apprentice H Y Yuen stated that her instructions were to go forward and lead. She said having regard to her instructions she rode her mount along in the early stages to ensure JEDI SPURS showed sufficient pace to cross runners to its inside. She said after obtaining a margin in advance of HAPPY PEGASUS in the early stages she then commenced to restrain her mount when she was satisfied that JEDI SPURS would be able to lead as instructed. She said as she commenced to restrain her mount approaching the 1000 Metres JEDI SPURS raced keenly and would not respond to her efforts to set a slower pace. She said making the turn leaving the 900 Metres as she applied more pressure to steady the horse to set a more sustainable pace JEDI SPURS became unbalanced when it got its head up and shifted out and from this point she was unable to control the horse in the lead. She added that soon after entering the Home Straight JEDI SPURS came under pressure before giving ground noticeably over the final 200 Metres. Trainer D A Hayes advised the horse had pleased him leading into the race and was of the opinion JEDI SPURS raced too keenly, particularly when ridden along in the early stages to go forward. He added that he would now place a hood on the horse for its next race start and use the services of a senior rider. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. The performance of JEDI SPURS was considered disappointing. Before being allowed to race again, JEDI SPURS will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

When questioned Z Purton stated that with the early and middle stages being run inside of standard time his mount was under pressure throughout the race to maintain its position. He said near the 500 Metres when positioned behind POLAR PATCH he was reluctant to shift out to improve at that point given the manner in which his mount had raced in the early and middle stages. He said when SMART FAT CAT improved quickly to his outside at the 500 Metres he then remained racing behind POLAR PATCH and followed SMART FAT CAT into the Home Straight when able to shift to the outside of POLAR PATCH. He added under pressure in the Home Straight CAVA PIONEER continued to respond to his riding but finished the race off in a one-paced manner.

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

H Bentley stated that his mount was disadvantaged by being pressured in the early stages by CIRCUIT FIERY which went forward to lead.

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, AMAZING DUCK will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Between the 150 Metres and the 100 Metres raced in restricted room to the inside of SERAPH GABRIEL which shifted in. When questioned Jockey Leung stated that after settling in a midfield position to the outside of BIG RETURN, when the pace of the event eased near the 1500 Metres his mount became unbalanced when bumped by BIG RETURN which shifted out when being checked. He said as a result SUPER GOLDENDRAGON then commenced to race keenly and he allowed it to stride forward. He said as he improved forward the pace of the race increased and when CALL ME MAGNIFIQUE held its position to his inside he was unable to cross that runner approaching the turn near the 900 Metres. He said as a consequence he elected to remain racing to the outside of CALL ME MAGNIFIQUE before being able to obtain cover near the 700 Metres. He added that under pressure in the Home Straight his mount finished the race off only fairly which he attributed to the race not being run to suit. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse’s trachea.

When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight J Orman stated that he followed SPEEDY POWER during the running of the race. He said after entering the Home Straight when SPEEDY POWER shifted out to improve he made ground to the inside of SPEEDY POWER where he was presented with the option to continue to improve to its inside behind DOUBLE ALPHA. He said he was reluctant to commit to this position as he was concerned that DOUBLE ALPHA would not take him into the race and therefore he elected to follow SPEEDY POWER. He said whilst this resulted in YEE CHEONG GLORY having some difficulty obtaining clear running between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres he felt this was the best option to provide it with clear running. He added when SPEEDY POWER quickened near the 250 Metres his mount took some time to respond to his riding and after laying in and away from PRIVATE WEALTH when obtaining a narrow run between PRIVATE WEALTH and COPARTNER A I near the 100 Metres he was satisfied with his mount’s finishing effort over the concluding stages.
