Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (242) - UNITED KINGDOM HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1800Meters
DELIGHTFUL LAOS stood flat-footed as the start was effected and lost a significant amount of ground.
Having regard to DELIGHTFUL LAOS' previous record in respect of being slow to begin, the Stewards ruled that that horse must perform satisfactorily in a series of consecutive barrier trials before being permitted to race again.
SUNSHINE WARRIOR began awkwardly and lost ground.
From wide barriers, KILINDINI and SAVAQUIN were steadied in the early stages to obtain cover.
Near the 1750 Metres, BELUGA was hampered and shifted in away from the heels of SOLAR WAI WAI (B Shinn) which shifted in before being corrected.
B Shinn was severely reprimanded and told that he must exercise far more care than he did on this occasion when shifting ground.
When SOLAR WAI WAI shifted in, TELECOM FIGHTERS, which was racing a number of horses away from that horse, shifted in abruptly, resulting in its rider, M Chadwick, becoming badly unbalanced.
After passing the winning post on the first occasion, ZEBROWSKI was left racing wide and without cover.
SAVVY NINE was held up passing the 400 Metres.
Passing the 50 Metres, SUNSHINE WARRIOR was shifted in away from the heels of FA FA to continue improving.
Then close to the finishing line, SUNSHINE WARRIOR raced tight inside the heels of FA FA.
A veterinary inspection of TELECOM FIGHTERS and THE ROCK immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
FA FA and BELUGA were sent for sampling.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Fa Fa just held off the late-fancied Beluga after hitting the front 80m out following a one-off run better than midfield to ring up a sixth win and fifth straight from his past seven starts despite a rise in class and distance. He'll remain in the grade and can win again. Punted late, Beluga ran on well three from the right to make it close on the wire after a one-off trip in midfield. He's a winner waiting to happen after placing in his past three starts at both tracks. Savvy Nine just got up for third after saving ground in midfield. He doesn't know how to run a bad race over this Valley trip, but the big weight was the difference in the end. Zebrowski stayed on very well to just miss a placing despite getting caught wide without cover better than midfield the entire trip from an awkward gate. Solar Wai Wai wouldn't go down without a fight after assuming the lead from Telecom Fighters 300m out following a pace-stalking run. The mile suits him better. Sunshine Warrior ran on reasonably well after a travelling two deep behind midfield. It was another honest effort over this course. Sunny Star peaked on his run 100m out after looming a chance along the inside 200m out following a four-back run on the fence.
