Recap by phillip woo

Favourite I'm In Charge was able to eventually slot in with cover in midfield at the 800m, swung the final bend widest out and let down well to get up 60m out for the win. Best-backed late, Gentilis went forward from an outside gate to dictate the running at an even tempo, cornered a length on top and grudgingly gave way while tending to shift in under the left whip over the final 100m. It was a nice effort in Class Three for the first time and he'll certainly come on for the effort. Brave Brother settled fifth along the rails, cornered three deep, ducked underneath Gentilis at the 250m and easily held third despite getting hampered 80m out. Wah May Baby made his run one off the rails in fourth, rallied four deep upon straightening and kept grinding away to land a quartet spot in a pleasing debut performance. Spitfire lost every chance when copping a check passing the 200m following a box-seat run. Fun Tapestry settled behind midfield and one off the rails, turned the final corner with two wider out and ran on steadily without menacing. Fionn's Treasure travelled third from the rear and never did fire in a below par performance off a big weight. He did appear from the training track to need the outing.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (036)-CHUN SHEK HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

SHARP HUNTER was withdrawn on 22.9.14 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore).

Before being allowed to race again, SHARP HUNTER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

WAH MAY BABY began awkwardly.

YOU READ MY MIND was crowded for room at the start between GENTILIS and SPARKLING B which shifted in.

After this, SPARKLING B was shifted across behind runners.

Shortly after the start, FUN TAPESTRY got its head up when being steadied to obtain cover.

Near the 850 Metres, SPITFIRE, which was travelling keenly, was awkwardly placed close to the heels of GENTILIS.

B Prebble (I'M IN CHARGE) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching the 800 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of FUN TAPESTRY, resulting in that horse being taken in across the rightful running of SPARKLING B which was checked.

GLORY BOY, which was following, was also checked in consequence.

B Prebble was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 16 October 2014 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays).

The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Sunday, 5 October 2014.

At the entrance to the Straight, BRAVE BROTHER shifted out and bumped WAH MAY BABY.

Near the 300 Metres, BRAVE BROTHER was awkwardly placed inside the heels of GENTILIS.

J Moreira (BRAVE BROTHER) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 200 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of SPITFIRE, causing that horse to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled.

J Moreira was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 16 October 2014 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays).

The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Sunday, 5 October 2014.

Near the 50 Metres, BRAVE BROTHER was steadied when crowded for room inside GENTILIS (Y T Cheng) which, after initially shifting in away from I'M IN CHARGE, then shifted in further of its own accord.

Y T Cheng was severely reprimanded and advised that in similar circumstances he would be expected to make more effort than he did on this occasion to prevent his mounts from shifting ground.

After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that FUN TAPESTRY had sustained lacerations to both hind legs.

A veterinary inspection of FIONN'S TREASURE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

I'M IN CHARGE and GENTILIS were sent for sampling.
