Racing Incident Report

GOLD DRAGON began only fairly.YOUNG RANGER lost its left front plate on jumping.
HORSE APLENTY shifted out at the start and bumped DILLY.

Passing the winning post on the first occasion, MAJESTIC ANTHEM was steadied away from the heels of INDUSTRIALIST WAY which shifted in when barely clear.
Also passing the winning post on the first occasion, BOTH LUCKY and NOBLE ALPHA raced tight inside INDUSTRIALIST WAY.
C Schofield (INDUSTRIALIST WAY) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that at the 1400 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of NOBLE ALPHA, causing that horse to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled.
C Schofield was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday, 2 May 2016 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays).
The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Sunday, 24 April 2016.
In addition, C Schofield was fined $52,500 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating 1½ further racedays.

Recap by phillip woo
Northern Falls easily cleared from a wide gate to lead 1,300m out, cornered near two lengths on top and edged clear for a comprehensive first win at his ninth start to land a betting plunge. Hit The Bid out-finished Green Dispatch three deep for second following a prominent run with cover. Green Dispatch stayed on nicely following a box-seat run to live up to his good overseas form on the gritty surfaces. Gold Dragon finished willingly four deep after travelling second from the rear to snatch a Quartet spot. Majestic Anthem ran on steadily after a deep run behind midfield to make it close for fourth. Dilly was stopping inside the 100m after making his run one off in second. Noble Alpha made some ground without menacing after travelling fourth from the back. Both Lucky came up one paced after easing into the open five deep at the 200m following a three back run along the fence. Midnight Rattler struggled in the run to the wire following a one-off run outside Both Lucky. Vanilla only got by beaten rivals after travelling at the rear from a wide gate. Young Ranger did not lift after settling third from the rear from a wide gate. Industrialist Way weakened tamely despite a relatively comfortable run.
