Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Let Me Do travelled three deep without cover worse than midfield despite a good gate, swung the final bend six deep and finished willingly to get up 50m out for a first win at his sixth start. No Money No Talk settled midfield along the rails, hit the front four deep at the 100m and found one too good in the end. London Walk switched off at the back from a tricky gate, cornered three deep and finished willingly to snatch third on the wire from Longwah Amber, who kept up a reasonably good gallop after having to work to lead at the 750m from a wide gate. Winning King settled behind midfield along the rails, stayed to the inside upon straightening and finished up well to grab a pay cheque in a much-improved performance. Secret Command took the sit in the box-seat after leading early on from a wide gate, straightened one off the rails and came up one-paced over the final 150m. Firming late in betting, Choice Treasure travelled third from the rear and was running on well down the outside when the race was all but over. Tarzan I Am produced only an even effort six-deep in the drive to the wire following a one-off run in midfield.

Racing Incident Report

Race Seven: (389)-TAI PO HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

FUN'N' GAMES bounded in the air at the start and consequently lost ground.

LONGWAH AMBER began awkwardly.

LONDON WALK was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Despite being aggressively ridden in the early stages, KOKODA failed to muster speed and then for the majority of the race travelled wide and without cover.

Making the turn after the 600 Metres, TARZAN I AM was awkwardly placed close to the heels of SNITZEL KID (K C Leung) which shifted in when not properly clear.

K C Leung was severely reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground.

Approaching the 400 Metres, TARZAN I AM was again awkwardly placed close to the heels of SNITZEL KID.

WINNING KING was held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn.

N Callan (LONGWAH AMBER) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that for some distance prior to the 100 Metres he permitted his mount to shift out, causing SNITZEL KID to be checked and lose its rightful running near the 100 Metres when crowded for room between LONGWAH AMBER and LET ME DO which shifted in marginally.

VERDANE, which was following SNITZEL KID, was checked in consequence.

N Callan was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 26 March 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 Sunday, 15 March 2015.

In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the slight contribution from LET ME DO in this incident.

Over the concluding stages, NO MONEY NO TALK was awkwardly placed inside the heels of LET ME DO.

A veterinary inspection of TARZAN I AM immediately following the race confirmed the horse to be a "roarer" which had previously been reported.

LET ME DO and NO MONEY NO TALK were sent for sampling.
