Recap by phillip woo

Rewarding Hero was patiently ridden at the tail of the field, and finished willingly to grab victory in the final stride. All You Wish bided his time and ran on nicely to make it a bob of heads on the wire. Beauty Flame led comfortably from gate six, and was swamped in the shadows of the post. Tour De Force lost some ground when copping a check between runners at the 1,000m, and finished well. Super Lifeline had every chance on the back of the speed and kept on evenly. Frederick Engels peaked on his run 150m out. Sterling City never fired a shot.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (280)-THE CHINESE CLUB CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) - Hong Kong Group Three - 1400Metres

SECRET SHAM was withdrawn on 31.12.14 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore).

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

ALL YOU WISH began only fairly.

TOUR DE FORCE began awkwardly.

From the outside barrier, REWARDING HERO was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1150 Metres, TOUR DE FORCE and FLAGSHIP SHINE were crowded for room inside WONDERFUL MOMENTS (M Chadwick) which shifted in before being directed out by its rider to relieve the tightening.

M Chadwick was severely reprimanded and advised to be sufficiently clear of runners prior to shifting ground in similar circumstances.

M Chadwick pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 1000 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of FLAGSHIP SHINE, causing that horse to be taken in onto TOUR DE FORCE, resulting in that horse being badly crowded for room and being checked.

M Chadwick was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 22 January 2015 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 Saturday, 10 January 2015.

After the 1000 Metres, FLAGSHIP SHINE was left racing wide and without cover.

Passing the 500 Metres, WONDERFUL MOMENTS became unbalanced after being bumped on the hindquarters by SUPER LIFELINE.

TOUR DE FORCE had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight.

A veterinary inspection of FLAGSHIP SHINE and WONDERFUL MOMENTS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

REWARDING HERO and ALL YOU WISH were sent for sampling.
