Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (129)-THE ORIENTAL WATCH 55TH ANNIVERSARY SHA TIN TROPHY(HANDICAP) - Group Two - 1600Metres
RAPPER DRAGON was withdrawn on raceday morning by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right hind).Before being allowed to race again, RAPPER DRAGON will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
FLAME HERO was crowded for room on jumping between HELENE PARAGON and BLAZING SPEED, both of which shifted ground.
HELENE HAPPY STAR began only fairly.
From the outside barrier, BEAUTY ONLY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 650 Metres, BEAUTY ONLY was checked away from the heels of HELENE HAPPY STAR.
PACKING PINS was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight.
Passing the 150 Metres, JOYFUL TRINITY momentarily raced in restricted room between BEAUTY ONLY and BLAZING SPEED which was taken out by DESIGNS ON ROME.
Then, over the concluding stages, BLAZING SPEED was awkwardly placed outside DESIGNS ON ROME which drifted out under pressure.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of CONTENTMENT, B Prebble stated that when enjoying a good run behind the speed, CONTENTMENT travelled strongly in the early and middle stages.
He said however that after being placed under pressure rounding the Home Turn, CONTENTMENT became unbalanced in its action, as it did at its first start back this campaign.
He said CONTENTMENT then gave ground noticeably in the Straight and, in his opinion, the horse did not feel comfortable in its action once off the bridle.
A veterinary inspection of CONTENTMENT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Before being allowed to race again, CONTENTMENT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of JOYFUL TRINITY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
JOYFUL TRINITY, DESIGNS ON ROME and BLAZING SPEED were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Veteran Designs On Rome hit the front 600m out after taking off from the rear at the 800m and kept finding to just scrape home for an upset win carrying equal-top weight. It was a great ride by Karis Teetan and he'll be hard to beat when stepping over his preferred 2,000m as well. Blazing Speed battled on gamely to make it close at the finish following a handy run. It was a cracking run off a big weight and like the winner will come on for this run and be looking for a longer trip. Beauty Only came on well after a deep run near the back despite unfavourable fractions to make it a thriller on the wire. He's run two sparkling races this term and will be hard to beat when meeting rivals at level weights over this trip. Favourite Joyful Trinity ran into traffic problems when pulling off the fence in midfield upon straightening. He should have finished closer. Sun Jewellery gave way 100m out after stalking the speed. He needed the run. Contentment disappointed following a box-seat run. He's not as effective carrying big weights at this level.
