Recap by phillip woo

Plunged late Quadruple Double kept on gamely going for home on top 400m out after prompting the pace for an upset win. He was able to add to an earlier Class Four win from his first three starts this term but should find things harder going forward. Majestic Knight made it close on the wire after a prominent run in the centre of the course. It was a solid effort first-up this season trying the straight 1,000m. Run Run Cool ran on steadily from behind midfield to fill a placing. He relished a return to the straight 1,000m and can get away with a race shortly. Lucky Eight kept on reasonably well chasing the speed from a low draw. It was a better run trying the straight 1,000m but he has failed to take things to a higher level this season. Favourite Superb Boy ran on well to just miss the frame after badly missing the start from a low draw. He's still got some kinks to work out but clearly has the tools to add to a debut win in October. Flying Dragon held his ground after a midfield run. He has come up flat in his past two after back-to-back seconds.

Racing Incident Report

Race Six: (219) - THE PENINSULA GOLDEN JUBILEE CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 3 - 1000Meters

RUN RUN COOL, which kicked a rail in the saddling area, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said that the horse was suitable to race.

As the start was effected, SUPERB BOY, which was being assisted by a starting gate handler, lifted its front feet off the ground and consequently lost a significant amount of ground.

Before being allowed to race again, SUPERB BOY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial.

MAJESTIC KNIGHT shifted out at the start and bumped QUADRUPLE DOUBLE.

SINGAPORE SUNSHINE began very awkwardly and then was crowded for room on jumping between MAGIC TORONADO and GOLDEN WARSTEED which shifted out.

BRILLIANT WAY and FLYING DRAGON bumped at the start.

M Chadwick (KA YING SPIRIT) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that passing the 900 Metres he permitted his mount to shift out when not clear of RUN RUN COOL, resulting in RUN RUN COOL being crowded for room and taken out onto BRILLIANT WAY and making contact with that horse, causing BRILLIANT WAY to shift out onto FLYING DRAGON which resulted in FLYING DRAGON being taken out across the rightful running of GOLDEN WARSTEED which was badly hampered and taken out across MAGIC TORONADO which was severely checked.

FLYING DRAGON then continued to shift out, resulting in GOLDEN WARSTEED also being severely checked.

M Chadwick was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Sunday, 1 January 2023 and to expire on Thursday, 5 January 2023 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays).

In addition, Jockey Chadwick was fined $30,000.

Over the concluding stages, FLYING DRAGON raced tight outside SUPERB BOY.

A veterinary inspection of GOLDEN WARSTEED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

SUPERB BOY, QUADRUPLE DOUBLE and MAJESTIC KNIGHT were sent for sampling.
