Recap by phillip woo

Sky King recovered to travel in midfield along the fence 1,000m out following a sluggish break, switched into the open five deep soon after straightening and finished well despite carrying top weight to run down Winning King 30m out for a first win with a drop in grade. He was suited by the pace. Winning King found one too good after hitting the front three deep following a prominent run along the fence. Lucky Seven produced an improved run to fill a tierce spot following a one-out, one-back run. Octal Luck parked outside the leader Globe Trotter after jumping swiftly, worked to the front 200m out and was yielding ground 100m out. Tango Fire got going late with one wider out after travelling worse than midfield. Mr Kool made some ground four deep without ever looking a chance after settling third from the rear for the most part with money coming for him late. Favourite Globe Trotter had to be ridden along to lead along the fence 800m out, cornered narrowly on top and was giving ground passing the 200m. Haymaker only plodded in the straight run after travelling fore of midfield with cover.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (696)-TUNG LUNG CHAU HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Metres

SOCCER BRAVE was slow to begin.

SKY KING began only fairly.

OCTAL LUCK shifted in marginally at the start, resulting in MR KOOL being taken in onto HAYMAKER which became badly unbalanced and in turn bumped THE GREATEST which also became unbalanced.

From the outside barriers, PEACE ON EARTH and MY BLESSING were shifted across behind runners shortly after the start.

Making the turn near the 1000 Metres, THE GREATEST got its head on the side and shifted out, resulting in MR KOOL being hampered when crowded for room inside MY BLESSING.

Near the 900 Metres, HAYMAKER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of LUCKY SEVEN which was steadied to obtain cover behind OCTAL LUCK.

TANGO FIRE, which was following HAYMAKER, was awkwardly placed behind that horse in consequence.

Rounding the Home Turn and at the entrance to the Straight, LUCKY SEVEN raced tight outside WINNING KING and was bumped by that horse which shifted out to obtain clear running.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of GLOBE TROTTER, Apprentice H N Wong stated that his mount was more relaxed prior to today's race than it was at its most recent start.

He said although he had to make some use of the horse in the early stages to lead, he felt that he had to make more use of it last start when it was successful.

He added GLOBE TROTTER travelled satisfactorily in the early and middle stages and, after being placed under pressure rounding the Home Turn, gave him a limited response in the early part of the Straight, however, came under pressure after the 200 Metres and then was disappointing in the manner in which it weakened over the concluding stages.

A veterinary inspection of GLOBE TROTTER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

GLOBE TROTTER, SKY KING and WINNING KING were sent for sampling.
