Racing Incident Report
Race One: (710) - OLD BAILEY HANDICAP - Class 3 - 2200Meters
On entering the track, J Moreira, the rider of GOLDEN SPECTRUM, was dislodged without incident.
CLEMENT LEGEND began only fairly.
GOLDEN SPECTRUM shifted out at the start and bumped METHANE.
From the outside barrier, VINCY was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
When questioned, A Hamelin stated that as BLASTOISE was drawn an outside barrier in a relatively small field, it was felt that if the horse were to be ridden into a forward position as had previously been the case, BLASTOISE would either be required to race outside the lead or may be required to travel wide and without cover.
He said as BLASTOISE is better suited when ridden with cover, it was agreed that the best option for the horse to obtain cover would be for it to be ridden quietly in tonight's race.
He added because of the slow tempo of the race BLASTOISE was not able to finish off the race as anticipated.
A veterinary inspection of TANGMERE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
BEAUTY HAPPY and VINCY were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Beauty Happy was too good after getting his own way in front from gate one to make it back-to-back wins. He's really come into his own and could get away with another in the grade before season's end. Favourite Vincy ran on well along the inside from last to grab second 100m out. It was a good effort in a paceless race. Golden Spectrum gradually faded after stalking the leader. It was a solid run carrying top weight. Clement Legend got up to fill the frame after settling midfield following a slow start. He likes this trip but is clearly on his mark. Punted late Methane ran on well after travelling one off the fence worse than midfield. He didn't disgrace up in grade over a much longer trip. Blastoise was a non-factor after surprisingly settling second last in a race run to suit those in front. Magnetism didn't get the trip after a dream run. Same can be said for the late-punted Tangmere who enjoyed a perfect trip one-out, one-back.
