Recap by phillip woo

Sensationally-backed at the jump, None Other never travelled with cover while rolling to fourth 800m out, straightened near four deep, hit the front 180m out and kept on gamely for a third victory this term. Super Fluke settled one off the fence behind midfield, rounded the final bend six deep and closed off well to grab second. Enormous Honour was handily-ridden one off the fence, straightened four deep and ran on steadily to edge out Super Talent for a placing. Super Talent settled one off in third, moved to second 300m out and grudgingly gave way over the last 100m. Well-punted late, Heroic Guru swung the final bend outside Super Fluke and closed off steadily to just miss a Quartet spot. Vara Pearl was getting going without menacing down the outside after travelling third from the rear. Full Talent rushed forward to lead 750m out, cornered a half-length on top and was yielding ground approaching the 100m. Favourite People's Knight was caught in traffic following a rails run in midfield and wasn't properly tested.

Racing Incident Report

Race Ten: (536)-LUGARD HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

Trainer P F Yiu was fined the sum of $10,000 for breaching Trainers' Handbook Regulation 80 in that he entered PO CHING TREASURE (S388) for a barrier trial at Happy Valley on Saturday, 2 April 2016 when that horse was the first Standby Declared Starter for this race.

Also interviewed was Mr C K Chung, Assistant Trainer allocated to Mr Yiu's stable for the current season.

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

LUCKY SCEPTER shifted out at the start and bumped ENORMOUS HONOUR.

ROYAL PARTNER began awkwardly.

VARA PEARL and JUBILEE FUN bumped at the start.

FULL TALENT and HEROIC GURU also bumped on jumping.

Shortly after the start, SUPER FLUKE was bumped by VARA PEARL which shifted in after racing tight inside JUBILEE FUN.

From the outside barrier, CIRCUIT FORTUNE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Approaching the 1200 Metres, FULL TALENT momentarily raced in restricted room inside ROUNDABOUT which got its head up when being steadied to relieve the tightening to FULL TALENT.

Passing the 800 Metres, PEOPLE'S KNIGHT was restrained away from the heels of ROUNDABOUT (Apprentice H N Wong) which was steadied to allow FULL TALENT to cross.

Apprentice Wong was severely reprimanded and warned against the practice of slowing the tempo too abruptly.

LUCKY SCEPTER, which was following PEOPLE'S KNIGHT, was inconvenienced in consequence.

Also passing the 800 Metres, SUPER FLUKE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ENORMOUS HONOUR.

At the entrance to the Straight, PEOPLE'S KNIGHT was checked away from the heels of ROUNDABOUT after endeavouring to improve inside that horse where there was insufficient room.

PEOPLE'S KNIGHT was then unable to obtain clear running in the Home Straight and consequently was not tested.

Passing the 100 Metres, SUPER TALENT was awkwardly placed inside the heels of NONE OTHER due to both horses shifting marginal ground.

Throughout the race, NONE OTHER travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of LUCKY SCEPTER immediately following the race revealed that the horse had an intermittent epiglottic entrapment.

PEOPLE'S KNIGHT, NONE OTHER and SUPER FLUKE were sent for sampling.
