Recap by phillip woo

Firming late Time Warp was pestered for the lead by Helene Charisma and found another wind when Werther levelled up at the 150m to edge clear late in track record time. He's stamped himself as favourite for Horse of the Year. Werther came to win the race following a one-off run ahead of midfield at the 200m but found one better in the end. He lost nothing in defeat. Seasons Bloom came on nicely after travelling third from the rear but found a couple too classy over this trip. He's better at a mile. Pakistan Star kept on well after rushing forward to sit fourth along the fence following a poor start. He's still his own worst enemy but it was a solid first run in eight months. Both Gold Mount and Eagle Way ran on without menacing from the back of the field. They both need a further trip. Dinozzo was gassed 200m out after chasing a hot pace facing the breeze in third.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (454) - THE CITI HONG KONG GOLD CUP - Class G1 - 2000Meters

PAKISTAN STAR lifted its front feet off the ground as the start was effected and consequently was slow to begin.

DINOZZO began awkwardly.

From a wide barrier, SECRET WEAPON was steadied and shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

In the early stages, DINOZZO travelled keenly and near the 1200 Metres shifted out away from the heels of HELENE CHARISMA after being awkwardly placed behind that horse.

At the entrance to the Straight, DINOZZO raced tight inside WERTHER.

Passing the 50 Metres, PAKISTAN STAR raced tight inside SEASONS BLOOM.

After the race, T Berry (EAGLE WAY) reported that his mount did not feel comfortable in its action during the race.

A veterinary inspection of EAGLE WAY immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its left front leg.

Before being allowed to race again, EAGLE WAY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

A veterinary inspection of DINOZZO and HELENE CHARISMA immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

The performance of HELENE CHARISMA, which gave ground from the 800 Metres and finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, HELENE CHARISMA 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, the Veterinary Officer reported that WERTHER had bled from both nostrils.

TIME WARP and WERTHER were sent for sampling.
