Recap by phillip woo

Well-backed late, Noble Steed dashed nicely after travelling behind midfield on the fence to deny odds-on favourite Amigos Giggle in the final few strides and ring one up for the old-timers. It had been 36 runs since his previous success, but he had been knocking on the door. Amigos Giggle found one too good after surging to the lead. He had his chance after finding the box seat, but he is a winner waiting to happen. Jade Phoenix stayed on gamely for a placing after chasing the leader, More Than Enough, on the fence. It was a better run. Sunny Delight came from near last rounding the final bend to get his head down for fourth. It was another honest effort, but he struggles to win. More Than Enough was on his tippy toes 100m out after clearing to the front from gate seven. He can steal a race at any time. Big Two ran on without menacing, travelling one off the fence in midfield after his tardy break. He has run below par in both his starts this term. Baby weakened after tracking the speed. He needed the outing. Glorious Lover never landed a blow from towards the rear. He is not racing well.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (67) - NAM FUNG HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters



HOLI MOLI was slow to begin.

BIG TWO began only fairly and after this was ridden along in the early stages in an attempt to obtain a forward position.

SUNNY DELIGHT shifted in at the start and bumped the hindquarters of MORE THAN ENOUGH.

After this, from a wide barrier, SUNNY DELIGHT was shifted across behind runners.

Approaching the 1300 Metres, BIG TWO and GLORIOUS LOVER bumped, resulting in GLORIOUS LOVER becoming unbalanced.

After this, GLORIOUS LOVER (Z Purton) travelled wide and without cover and then in the Straight gave ground and finished tailed out.

After the race, Z Purton reported that GLORIOUS LOVER came off the bridle at the 1200 Metres and from that point onwards was reluctant to maintain its position.

He added that he had to commence riding his mount along at the 800 Metres in an attempt to hold its position, however, despite being ridden along, GLORIOUS LOVER would not respond and by the 600 Metres was already a well beaten horse.

A veterinary inspection of GLORIOUS LOVER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

The performance of GLORIOUS LOVER was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, GLORIOUS LOVER 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 900 Metres, BABY was taken wider by JADE PHOENIX which shifted out from behind MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Then passing the 500 Metres, BABY raced tight outside AMIGOS GIGGLE which shifted out to improve.

Passing the 250 Metres, JADE PHOENIX was directed to the inside of MORE THAN ENOUGH.

When questioned, L Ferraris stated that he was instructed to lead on MORE THAN ENOUGH and to have the horse relaxed as best as possible throughout the race.

He said after riding MORE THAN ENOUGH along in the early stages to obtain the lead, he was able to steady the tempo in the middle stages.

He said however that after the 800 Metres MORE THAN ENOUGH commenced to travel strongly and as he was told not to steady his mount and break its momentum, he allowed the horse to continue on whilst still attempting to rate the horse as best as possible in the lead.

A veterinary inspection of BIG TWO and BABY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

NOBLE STEED and AMIGOS GIGGLE were sent for sampling.
