Racing Incident Report
Race Eight: (260) - VENUS HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters
As the start was effected, EQUILIBRIUM TURBO became fractious and began very awkwardly, resulting in the horse losing ground.
EQUILIBRIUM TURBO, which was having its first race start in Hong Kong tonight, will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test before being permitted to race again.
NEVER TOO SOON shifted in at the start and bumped COMPASSION SPIRIT.
JAZZ ANGEL began only fairly and from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
MOMENTUM GALAXY shifted out at the start and bumped NAMJONG SINGS which became unbalanced.
MOMENTUM GALAXY was then crowded for room between NAMJONG SINGS and EVER FORCE which shifted out.
After this, MOMENTUM GALAXY and NAMJONG SINGS were steadied and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover.
Making the turn near the 1050 Metres, SPONTANEOUS got its head up when racing close to the heels of NEVER TOO SOON.
MOMENTUM GALAXY, which was following, was inconvenienced in consequence.
After this, both SPONTANEOUS and MOMENTUM GALAXY travelled keenly approaching and passing the 900 Metres.
Approaching and passing the 800 Metres, A SMILE LIKE YOURS was inconvenienced when having to be shifted out away from the heels of NEVER TOO SOON which, when travelling keenly, shifted out when awkwardly placed behind COLONEL.
A SMILE LIKE YOURS was then left racing wide and without cover near the 700 Metres.
In the early part of the Straight, NEVER TOO SOON got its head on the side and lay in.
Approaching the 150 Metres, M F Poon (NEVER TOO SOON) momentarily dropped his whip before being able to regather it.
Approaching the 50 Metres, JAZZ ANGEL was shifted out away from the heels of COMPASSION SPIRIT which was shifted to the outside of JOLLY GOOD HEART to continue improving.
A veterinary inspection of NEVER TOO SOON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A SMILE LIKE YOURS and JOLLY GOOD HEART were sent for sampling.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite A Smile Like Yours got up in the last stride despite a wide without cover trip in midfield to ring up a remarkable fourth win from eight starts over this course and distance this term. He continues to raise his game despite a rise in class. Jolly Good Heart led as expected and found one just too good after turning the final bend two lengths on top. He's not easy to run down if he gets his own way in front over this Valley trip. Colonel stayed on nicely to finish a close third after chasing the speed from a tricky gate despite a return to Class Three. He's close to a win. Compassion Spirit ran on steadily along the inside to fill a quartet spot after a rail run in midfield. It was another honest effort but he has trouble winning at this level. Party Warrior ran on without menacing after a two-tothree deep trip travelling fifth from the rear. He got too far back in his first run in Class Three after a win. Namjong Sings was doing his best work late after showing no speed early on from a wide draw. He's better at Sha Tin. Jazz Angel ran on without ever looking a threat after a patient ride fourth from the rear. He might be crying out for a further trip. Newcomer Equilibrium Turbo was a non-factor after badly missing the kick.
