Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Cartoon Fay Fay jumped a lot better this time to sit fourth along the rail, rounded the final bend five deep and responded well to take control 130m out for a first win at his 30th run. Packing Dragon settled one off the fence in third, moved to second 700m out and kept on gamely in a pleasing first run on the dirt. Entrusting finished willingly one from the outside after travelling deep with cover second from the rear in a promising first run of the campaign. Diamond Friends handed up the lead passing the 1,300m after clearing to lead from a tricky gate, peeled three deep soon after straightening and kept grinding away to finish a non-threatening fourth. Kitaya assumed the front 1,250m out, cornered near two lengths on top and was stopping 100m out. Axiom ran on steadily six deep without menacing after travelling one off from beyond midfield. Telephatia stayed on all right after travelling behind midfield along the fence. He's one to keep safe when next stepping out on the turf over 1,800m.

Racing Incident Report

Race Four: (183)-DES VOEUX HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1800Metres

WIN ALONG was slow to begin.

KITAYA shifted in at the start and bumped CARTOON FAY FAY.

From wide barriers, TELEPHATIA and BUDDY BUDDIES were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Despite being vigorously ridden along in the early stages, JOLLY GOOD STAR failed to muster speed.

R Fourie (ROCK THE TREE) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that passing the winning post on the first occasion he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of BUDDY BUDDIES, causing that horse to be crowded for room, to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled and in turn taken in onto TELEPHATIA which was also crowded for room.

R Fourie was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 17 December 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, 6 December 2015.

For some distance approaching and passing the 1300 Metres, SPEEDY WALLY got its head on the side and raced awkwardly.

Then near the 1100 Metres, TELEPHATIA momentarily raced tight inside SPEEDY WALLY which continued to race with its head on the side and shifted in away from REAL GENEROUS.

At the 500 Metres, CARTOON FAY FAY and JOLLY GOOD STAR raced tight as CARTOON FAY FAY improved around DIAMOND FRIENDS.

Near the 250 Metres, SPEEDY WALLY was shifted in away from the heels of JOLLY GOOD STAR.

Approaching the 200 Metres, BUDDY BUDDIES and REAL GENEROUS bumped, resulting in both horses becoming unbalanced.

After the 200 Metres, T H So (TELEPHATIA) dropped his right rein.

A veterinary inspection of ROCK THE TREE and JOLLY GOOD STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

CARTOON FAY FAY and PACKING DRAGON were sent for sampling.
