Recap by phillip woo

The race was marred by an incident at the jump when Eddie Lai had his foot stuck in the irons and was dragged along early on by his mount Diamond Angel. As for the race itself, Winning Novel enjoyed the box-seat run, straightened three deep and ran on nicely to mow down Oriental Fantasia 100m out for a first win at his seventh start with a step back in distance. Well-punted late, Oriental Fantasia came to the final bend two lengths clear after dictating a steady ace and grudgingly gave way over the final 100m. Archer's Bow was held up three deep by riderless Diamond Angel until the 150m after a rail's run fore of midfield and eventually got going to nail the late-fancied favourite Everyone's Choice for a placing Everyone's Choice peaked on his run 100m out after sitting one off in second from a wide gate.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (113)-PIAGET EXCELLENT HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1400Metres

On entering the track, A Suborics was dislodged from YEUNG SING.

YEUNG SING then proceeded riderless to near the starting point.

YEUNG SING was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said that the horse was suitable to race.

A Suborics was examined by the Club's medical officers and passed fit to fulfil his race riding engagement.

When approximately 100 Metres from the barriers, DIAMOND ANGEL became fractious, resulting in W M Lai being dislodged.

DIAMOND ANGEL was then led riderless a short distance to the starting gates.

On jumping, DIAMOND ANGEL knuckled over badly, resulting in W M Lai being dislodged.

In this incident, W M Lai's left foot was caught in the stirrup iron for about 50 Metres.

DIAMOND ANGEL then proceeded with the field riderless.

Following this incident, W M Lai was transported to hospital.

YEUNG SING was slow to begin.

Despite being ridden along in the early stages, RECORD AGAIN failed to muster speed.

Passing the 1100 Metres, LA COTE DE BLEU commenced to prove very difficult to settle and got its head up on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed close to the heels of DRAGON.

LA COTE DE BLEU then continued to over-race and near the 950 Metres shifted out abruptly when being checked away from the heels of DRAGON.

Passing the 700 Metres, RECORD AGAIN was hampered when steadied away from the heels of ARCHER'S BOW which was taken in by CHAMPION RANGER which got its head on the side and lay in despite the efforts of its rider.

Approaching the 200 Metres, BORNFREE was awkwardly placed outside the heels of CHAMPION RANGER when attempting to establish clear running to the outside of that horse.

Also approaching the 200 Metres, DRAGON became unbalanced after shifting out and bumping EASY AHEAD.

Over the concluding stages, BORNFREE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of CHAMPION RANGER and consequently was not able to be properly tested.

Throughout the race, EASY AHEAD travelled wide and without cover.

N Rawiller, the rider of the 3rd placegetter, ARCHER'S BOW, was reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out all the way to the end of the race where circumstances permit.

After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on BORNFREE at the request of Trainer Y S Tsui.

The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.

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

Also after the race, Z Purton reported that after proving very difficult to settle in the early stages which resulted in LA COTE DE BLEU becoming unbalanced on a number of occasions, the horse was taken wider after the 600 Metres by GOLD TALENT which shifted out to improve its position.

He said when placed under pressure in the Straight LA COTE DE BLEU failed to close off the race.

A veterinary inspection of LA COTE DE BLEU immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

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

EVERYONE'S CHOICE, WINNING NOVEL and ORIENTAL FANTASIA were sent for sampling.
