Racing Incident Report
Race Eight: (128) - PO CHONG WAN HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters
GRATEFUL HEART shifted in at the start and bumped HIGH RISE SOLDIER.
LUCKY MARYKNOLL and CANTSTOPTHEFEELING were crowded for room on jumping between CUE THE MUSIC and BEAUTY SPARK which shifted in.
From the outside barriers, BEAUTY SPARK and SHADOW RUNNER were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 1050 Metres, PRINCE OF GEMS was steadied when crowded for room inside CALIFORNIADEEPSHOT which was taken in by FLYING BONUS (K Teetan).
K Teetan was severely reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is properly clear when shifting ground in similar circumstances.
At the entrance to the Straight, AMAZING KIWI and HIGH RISE SOLDIER bumped.
WIND N GRASS, which was following AMAZING KIWI, was shifted in away from the heels of that horse to obtain clear running.
After the 200 Metres, CALIFORNIADEEPSHOT shifted out under pressure.
K C Leung, the rider of SHADOW RUNNER, which was having its first race start in Hong Kong tonight, was reminded of his obligation in respect of using the whip over the concluding stages on a horse out of contention.
When questioned regarding the performance of PRINCE OF GEMS, A Hamelin stated that, in his opinion, PRINCE OF GEMS did not appreciate racing at Happy Valley for the first time tonight.
He said making the turn near the 1000 Metres the horse was reluctant to hold its position when racing tight inside CALIFORNIADEEPSHOT.
He said after this PRINCE OF GEMS raced awkwardly behind CALIFORNIADEEPSHOT and got its head up approaching and passing the 900 Metres.
He said PRINCE OF GEMS then continued to be reluctant to maintain its position amongst runners and at the 600 Metres was not travelling well enough to finish off the race.
He added he placed PRINCE OF GEMS under heavy pressure prior to the 400 Metres, however, the horse did not finish off the race and was disappointing.
He said having regard to the manner in which PRINCE OF GEMS had raced previously at Sha Tin compared to the manner in which it raced tonight, he is of the opinion that PRINCE OF GEMS may be better suited to Sha Tin.
A veterinary inspection of PRINCE OF GEMS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of AMAZING KIWI immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.

Recap by phillip woo
Grateful Heart settled nicely in second outside the leader Flying Bonus, shot to the front near the 200m and kept on gamely to erase his maiden at start six. He's finally brought his good trial form to the races. High Rise Solider ran on well travelling one-off worse than midfield to make it close on the wire. He keeps promising but keeps finding one or two too good. Californiadeepshot stayed on well to just edge Flying Bonus for a placing following a box-seat run. He's honest as the day is long over this Valley trip. Flying Bonus grudgingly gave way after turning the final bend a half length on top. Wind N Grass ran on steadily from behind midfield to finish fifth without menacing the top four. It wasn't a bad run. Cue The Music ran on without menacing from beyond midfield. It was a better effort at his third run this season. Favourite Prince Of Gems found nothing following a rails run in midfield. The switch to the Valley and step up to 1,200m backfired.
