Recap by phillip woo

Gracylove kept on gamely after rolling to the front 300m out after a prominent run on the fence. He had been out of form but had fallen four points below a win back in October. Chiron weaved a run near the inside to snatch second on the wire after make his run behind midfield on the fence. He does appear to have turned the corner after a runner-up result last start on the dirt. Millennium Falcon stuck on well to just lose a quinella spot in the dying stages after getting posted three deep without cover until slotting in the one-one 1,000m out. Super Highway stayed on well for fourth without menacing the top three after a wide without cover trip in midfield. He's heading in the right direction now. Indigenous Realm ran on reasonably well two from the right after making his run three from the back following a slow start. He appears from his past two runs to be close to a bottom. Natural Gold weakened 100m out after sharing the lead without cover from a tricky gate. He had an excuse. Light Of Wanshi made some ground late after dropping back sharply to travel last at the 1,200m. It was an out-of-character effort.

Racing Incident Report

Race Four: (705) - SHA TIN PASS HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Meters

Whilst in the saddling stalls, NATURAL GOLD had its right hind plate refitted.

NATURAL GOLD was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

FOREVER GLORIOUS began only fairly and then shortly after the start was crowded for room between MOERAKI which shifted out and MARADO which was bumped by SUPER HIGHWAY which, after beginning awkwardly, was taken in by LIGHT OF WANSHI.

INDIGENOUS REALM began awkwardly and then shortly after the start stumbled when crowded for room between MR ALDAN which shifted in and MAXIMIZE HEART which was bumped and taken out by ALL IS READY.

After this, MAXIMIZE HEART and INDIGENOUS REALM were shifted across behind runners.

After the 900 Metres, SUPER HIGHWAY was left racing wide and without cover.

ALL IS READY lost its left front plate in the middle stages.

Passing the 700 Metres, CHIRON was ridden along to improve inside FOREVER GLORIOUS which got its head on the side and lay in.

CHIRON was then checked away from the heels of FOREVER GLORIOUS near the 650 Metres as that horse continued to lay in.

Rounding the Home Turn and in the Straight, MILLENNIUM FALCON lay out under pressure.

MOERAKI made the Home Turn awkwardly and near the 450 Metres brushed the hindquarters of NATURAL GOLD.

When questioned, M Chadwick (LIGHT OF WANSHI) stated that his saddle slipped back marginally in the early stages.

He said a short distance after the start LIGHT OF WANSHI commenced to lose ground and then after the 1300 Metres became unbalanced in its action when being ridden along.

He said he had to ride his mount along aggressively after the 1200 Metres as LIGHT OF WANSHI would not improve its position and near the 1100 Metres became detached from the field.

He said LIGHT OF WANSHI was able to make up some ground after the 800 Metres and after being placed under pressure after the 400 Metres commenced to finish the race off only fairly.

He said although LIGHT OF WANSHI had some difficulty obtaining clear running over the latter stages, nonetheless he was disappointed in the finishing effort of the horse after it was reluctant to race in the early stages.

He added that having regard to the manner in which LIGHT OF WANSHI performed today, he recommended to connections that they consider adding blinkers to the horse's gear at its future starts.

A veterinary inspection of LIGHT OF WANSHI immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

The performance of LIGHT OF WANSHI, which became detached from the field in the early stages, was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, LIGHT OF WANSHI will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on MILLENNIUM FALCON at the request of Trainer T P Yung.

The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse's trachea.

SUPER HIGHWAY, GRACYLOVE and CHIRON were sent for sampling.
