Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (369) - GOOD FORTUNE HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Meters
ASSIMILATE lost ground when crowded for room on jumping between THE HULK which shifted out and then shifted out further after becoming unbalanced as a result of contact on the hindquarters from ASSIMILATE and SEATTLE CHOICE which was bumped by GOLDEN SPECTRUM.
In this incident, SEATTLE CHOICE became badly unbalanced after being heavily bumped on the hindquarters by ASSIMILATE.
SEATTLE CHOICE then shifted out and made contact with GOLDEN SPECTRUM which became unbalanced and shifted out, causing HALL OF CHAMP to be crowded for room.
BEAUTY RUSH stumbled at the start.
FALCON TURBO began only fairly.
From wide barriers, LOBO'S LEGEND and NOBLE STEED were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
THE HULK travelled keenly in the early stages and got its head up after the 1000 Metres when awkwardly placed behind BEAUTY RUSH.
Passing the 600 Metres and again near the 500 Metres, ASSIMILATE was steadied away from the heels of DRAGON GENERAL.
After the 500 Metres, LOBO'S LEGEND raced tight outside RACING FIGHTER which shifted out.
LOBO'S LEGEND was then directed to the inside of RACING FIGHTER to obtain clear running passing the 400 Metres.
HALL OF CHAMP had some difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight.
RACING FIGHTER was held up for clear running from near the 250 Metres until after the 200 Metres.
LOBO'S LEGEND, which was finishing off the race strongly, was held up for clear running from the 150 Metres until after the 100 Metres at which stage it improved into tight running LOOKING GOOD and FALCON TURBO.
Then over the concluding stages, LOBO'S LEGEND raced tight between SEATTLE CHOICE and LOOKING GOOD which, after racing tight outside DRAGON GENERAL, then shifted out away from that horse.
Because of this, LOBO'S LEGEND was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race.
Near the 50 Metres, the whip of K C Leung (DRAGON GENERAL) became caught behind the right leg of Apprentice K H Chan (LOOKING GOOD).
For the majority of the race, SEATTLE CHOICE travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of NOBLE STEED immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its right front leg.
Before being allowed to race again, NOBLE STEED will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of THE HULK immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
ASSIMILATE and SEATTLE CHOICE were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Assimilate got the gap when needed to get up in deep stretch for the win after travelling midfield on the fence after a sluggish start. He had been threatening to do this for a while. Seattle Choice found one just too good after hitting the front passing the 100m following a wide and without cover run near the speed. He's a winner waiting to happen. Punted late, Looking Good wouldn't go down without a fight after surging to the lead 250m out following a pace-stalking run outside Taking Aim. He was able to follow up a last-start win carrying a pound less with the claim well utilised. In a return to form, Dragon General just finished out of the placings after a box-seat run. The top weight was the difference in the end following a downgrade here. Lobo's Legend was making a heap of ground late after straightening at the back of the field from a wide gate.
