Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Dr Listening took the sit one off in second after jumping alertly from gate eight, raced to a narrow lead approaching the 200m and kept on well to notch a second win from three starts. He's got the tools to head higher. Marvel Hero closed the gap with every stride after shifting into the open four deep at the 300m following a patient ride near the back along the inside. Kingsfield went forward from a wide gate to dictate the running, straightened a length on top and kept fighting when headed to finish a close third. Pikachu was ridden for luck at the tail of the field, switched into the open widest out at the 200m and was getting going late to snatch fourth from Pakistan Baby. The latter had every chance following a box-seat run. Sweet Home made ground late near the inside following a patient ride second from the rear. Noble De Boy recovered after jumping tardily to settle midfield along the fence 1,000m out, was ridden to pick up five deep rounding the final bend and came up one-paced over the final 150m. Lucky Guy was prominently ridden without cover the entire trip and was struggling 150m out.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eleven: (764)-SOCIAL INCLUSION HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

After leaving the Parade Ring, GOLDEN SUN became fractious, resulting in Y T Cheng being dislodged without incident.

NOBLE DE BOY was slow to begin.

MARVEL HERO was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.

KINGSFIELD lost its right front plate passing the 500 Metres.

At the entrance to the Straight, SWEET HOME was shifted in away from the heels of MARVEL HERO and near the 100 Metres was shifted out from behind PAKISTAN BABY to continue improving.

Throughout the race, LUCKY GUY travelled wide and without cover.

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

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

After the race, M Chadwick reported that PAKISTAN BABY lay in under pressure in the Straight and was reluctant to shift to the outside of KINGSFIELD.

He said over the concluding stages PAKISTAN BABY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of KINGSFIELD and consequently was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race.

The Stewards accepted that PAKISTAN BABY was laying in which ultimately resulted in the horse being awkwardly placed close to the heels of KINGSFIELD over the concluding stages and accordingly accepted the evidence provided by M Chadwick.

When questioned, K Teetan stated that, from the outside barrier, he was asked to ride GLENEALY PRIZE in a forward position as it was expected that today's race may not be run at a good temp.

He said he was advised however that if GLENEALY PRIZE did not have sufficient speed to cross runners to its inside, he should attempt to obtain a position with cover on that horse.

He said in accordance with his instructions he rode GLENEALY PRIZE along in the early stages, however, KINGSFIELD, which was racing to the inside of GLENEALY PRIZE, clearly showed more speed than his mount.

He said when he observed DR LISTENING being ridden to obtain a forward position inside KINGSFIELD, he elected to steady his mount and attempt to find a position with cover behind LUCKY GUY.

He said however that GOLDEN SUN was ridden along to maintain its position to the inside of GLENEALY PRIZE and as a consequence GLENEALY PRIZE was then left racing wide and without cover throughout the race.

When questioned, Apprentice K K Chiong stated that she was asked to ride PIKACHU in a handy position if the horse began well, however, if it did not jump well, then she should take her mount across behind runners and ride it where it was comfortable.

She said PIKACHU began only fairly and therefore she did not believe it was an option to ride the horse in a handy position and accordingly she shifted PIKACHU across behind runners in the early stages.

She said the race was run at a good tempo which resulted in PIKACHU getting out of its ground in the middle stages.

She added at the entrance to the Straight she immediately commenced to ride the horse along whilst shifting it towards the outside and then over the concluding stages PIKACHU finished off the race strongly.

Apprentice Chiong was advised that her explanation would be reported, however, she should have ridden her mount along after the 600 Metres to make up ground on the main body of the field.

She was also told that she must ride her mounts in such a manner so that they are not left with too much to do.

A veterinary inspection of LUCKY GUY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.

DR LISTENING and MARVEL HERO were sent for sampling.
