Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (612) - THE FWD QEII CUP - Class G1 - 2000Meters
CHEERFUL DAYS shifted out at the start and brushed ROMANTIC WARRIOR.
Shortly after the start, PANFIELD shifted in and bumped COLUMBUS COUNTY which in turn bumped RUSSIAN EMPEROR.
PANFIELD was then steadied to obtain cover.
Passing the winning post on the first occasion, ZEBROWSKI was left racing wide and without cover and was allowed to improve its position to race outside the lead after the 1400 Metres.
After the 1500 Metres, CHEERFUL DAYS was steadied away from the heels of ROMANTIC WARRIOR which itself was awkwardly placed behind KA YING STAR.
RUSSIAN EMPEROR, which was following CHEERFUL DAYS, was inconvenienced in consequence.
Approaching the 1000 Metres, RUSSIAN EMPEROR was shifted out away from the heels of CHEERFUL DAYS and after this travelled wide and without cover.
Passing the 400 Metres, KA YING STAR became unbalanced after being bumped on the hindquarters by TOURBILLON DIAMOND which shifted out.
Then approaching the 200 Metres, KA YING STAR was eased away from the heels of ROMANTIC WARRIOR (K Teetan) which shifted in.
K Teetan was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.
After the 100 Metres, PANFIELD and RUSSIAN EMPEROR raced tight.
Close to the finishing line, ZEBROWSKI and RELIABLE TEAM were crowded for room between TOURBILLON DIAMOND and COLUMBUS COUNTY which got its head on the side and shifted out despite the efforts of its rider.
ROMANTIC WARRIOR and TOURBILLON DIAMOND were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Romantic Warrior took control 200m out after a perfect trip one off in midfield to record a rare Derby/QE II Cup double. He should be unbeaten in eight starts if not for a luckless run in the Classic Cup. Tourbillon Diamond ran on steadily to just get the head down for second after being held up until the 300m following a prominent run on the fence. He's honest. Panfield was doing his best work late to just miss second after a patient ride one from the rear. It was a return to form after misfiring four times. Ka Ying Star grudgingly gave way after a pace-stalking run from a wide draw. He has trouble winning but rarely runs poorly. Early favourite Russian Emperor just missed the frame with a move down the outside after a wide trip without cover towards the rear from the 800m. He was given too much to do. Columbus County made a steady bid late near the inside after a rails run behind midfield. He's clearly at his best over 2,400m.
