Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Back In Black stayed to the inside upon straightening following a box-seat run and finished well to wear down Forever Red 50m out for a third win from seven starts this term. Forever Red travelled two lengths back in second behind the leader Harbour Alert, advanced to the front three deep approaching the 100m and found one better on the evening. Choice Treasure saved ground in midfield, was a bit tight for room between runners when pulling out for a run four deep upon straightening and finished well with a clear run over the final 150m. Harbour Alert enjoyed an easy lead, cornered near two lengths on top and was stopping as usual in the last 100m. Da Vinci was able to land a one-out, one-back spot, straightened near five deep and came up one-paced over the final 150m. He's not genuine. King Of Mongolia ran on without menacing after travelling near the rear from a wide gate. Racing Mate made only minor gains with one wider out upon straightening after a ground-saving run behind midfield. Lucky Day was always at the tail after bombing the start.

Racing Incident Report

Race Six: (450)-SO KON PO HANDICAP (Sec2) - Class 3 - 1200Metres

The Stewards tonight interviewed Trainer T P Yung regarding SENSATION (S225) being a pre-declaration withdrawal for this race due to being treated.

Also interviewed was Mr C K Tsang, assistant trainer allocated to Mr Yung's stable for the current season.

SENSATION was withdrawn from this race on Saturday, 27 February 2016.

Mr Yung pleaded guilty to a breach of Rule 50(2) in that as the person responsible for all matters pertaining to the running of his stable, he did arrange for SENSATION, a horse trained by him, to be treated on Saturday, 27 February 2016 when that horse was the second standby runner for this race.

Mr Yung was fined the sum of $10,000.

Mr Tsang was advised that a report relating to his involvement in this matter would be forwarded to Stables Management for their consideration and necessary action.

As the start was effected, LUCKY DAY became fractious, lifted its front feet off the ground and consequently lost ground.

Before being allowed to race again, LUCKY DAY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test.

MASSIVE MILLENNIUM was crowded for room on jumping between HEARTS KEEPER and RACING MATE, both of which shifted ground.

HONG KONG CAPTAIN began awkwardly.

From the outside barrier, KING OF MONGOLIA was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Making the turn near the 1000 Metres, MASSIVE MILLENNIUM got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of RACING MATE which was awkwardly placed close to the heels of TRILLION TREASURE.

RACING MATE lost its left front plate approaching the 800 Metres.

HEARTS KEEPER travelled wide and without cover until after the 700 Metres.

Near the 200 Metres, Z Purton (KING OF MONGOLIA) dropped his whip and momentarily lost the use of his left rein.

Passing the 200 Metres, HARBOUR ALERT raced tight inside FOREVER RED.

Near the 50 Metres, HARBOUR ALERT was inconvenienced when it continued to race tight inside FOREVER RED.

A veterinary inspection of LUCKY DAY immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse's trachea.

A veterinary inspection of TRILLION TREASURE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

The performance of TRILLION TREASURE, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, TRILLION TREASURE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

BACK IN BLACK and FOREVER RED were sent for sampling.
