Racing Incident Report
Race Five: (239)-LONGINES INTERNATIONAL JOCKEYS' CHAMPIONSHIP (HANDICAP)- 2ND LEG (Sec2) - Class 4 - 1650Metres
SPEEDY WALLY was slow to begin.TRUE COMMENT shifted out at the start and bumped G-ONE LOVER.
Shortly after the start, STRATHEARN was steadied away from the heels of TRUE COMMENT which shifted in.
From wide barriers, APACHE SPIRIT and DRAGON HARMONY were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Passing the 1500 Metres, THE SYLPH got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of TRUE COMMENT which shifted in when only just clear.
After this, THE SYLPH proved very difficult to settle and got its head up on a number of occasions.
Also passing the 1500 Metres, CIRCUIT KING and ADDOLE raced tight.
At the 1050 Metres, APACHE SPIRIT proved difficult to settle and got its head up when being checked away from the heels of NOBLE DE MAN.
Near the 750 Metres, THE SYLPH commenced to travel keenly and got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of TRUE COMMENT.
Passing the 500 Metres, STRATHEARN was awkwardly placed close to the heels of THE SYLPH.
Rounding the Home Turn, HAPPY AND HEALTHY and NOBLE DE MAN raced tight.
Also rounding the Home Turn, STRATHEARN brushed the running rail when improving into tight running inside TRUE COMMENT.
SPEEDY WALLY proved reluctant to shift away from the rail near the 350 Metres when racing with its head on the side.
Passing the 300 Metres, TRUE COMMENT was awkwardly placed close to the heels of G-ONE LOVER.
THE SYLPH was unable to obtain clear running at any stage of the Straight and consequently was not able to be tested.
G Lerena (NOBLE DE MAN) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that passing the 150 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of APACHE SPIRIT, causing that horse to be badly hampered when taken in onto SPEEDY WALLY which was also hampered after being bumped by APACHE SPIRIT.
THE SYLPH, which was racing to the inside of SPEEDY WALLY, was checked away from the heels of that horse in consequence.
G Lerena was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday, 28 December 2015 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays).
The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the racemeeting in South Africa on Thursday, 17 December 2015.
R Moore (HAPPY AND HEALTHY) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching the 150 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of ADDOLE, causing that horse and CIRCUIT KING to be unnecessarily crowded for room and CIRCUIT KING to be taken in onto MISTER MARC which was checked and lost the running to which it was rightfully entitled and further that he permitted his mount to continue to shift in approaching the 100 Metres when not clear of ADDOLE, causing that horse to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled.
THE SYLPH, which was following, was hampered in consequence.
R Moore was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Monday, 28 December 2015 and to expire on Thursday, 14 January 2016 on which day he may resume race riding (4 Hong Kong racedays).
In addition, R Moore was fined $30,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating 1 further raceday.
In assessing the quantum of the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the high degree of carelessness exhibited by Jockey Moore during this incident.
HAPPY AND HEALTHY and TRUE COMMENT were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Happy And Healthy settled one off the fence in midfield, swung the final bend with three wider out and closed off steadily despite drifting in under pressure to finish level for the win with rank outsider True Comment who had worked to a narrow lead passing the 150m following a rail's run fore of midfield. Longshot Speedy Wally was still last coming to the final bend after jumping slowly, rounded the final bend six deep and really got going in the last 150m to easily take third. He was suited by the wet going. G-One Lover worked to a narrow lead at the 160m following a box-seat run and was swamped in the drive to the wire. Strathearn was getting going near the inside after travelling third from the rear without menacing. Apache Spirit closed off nicely three from the right despite getting bumped around at the 150m. Noble De Man was grinding away with one wider out after travelling one off the fence behind midfield. Circuit King stalked the speed in second, rounded the final bend five deep and kept on evenly after getting buffeted around at the 150m.
