Recap by phillip woo

California Spangle led as expected, then headed by stablemate Beauty Joy 750m out before holding off the late surge of favourite Golden Sixty after reclaiming the lead 300m out for a ninth win from 14 starts. He has taken his game to a new level this season. Golden Sixty dug in deep but came up just short travelling handy near the inside. He just found one better on the big day. Law Of Indices kept on well to finish next best without menacing the top two after getting posted deep near the speed early on from the widest draw. It was a solid run by the Australian challenger. Punted late, Beauty Joy was on his tippy toes 100m out after circling the field following a wide trip in midfield to lead 750m out. He produced a better effort with a step back in distance. More Than This ran on without menacing after making his run two from the rear. Japanese raider Danon Scorpion made headway without ever looking a chance travelling one from the rear. Schnell Master never landed a blow after making his run behind midfield on the fence.

Racing Incident Report

Race Seven: (239) - THE LONGINES HONG KONG MILE - Class G1 - 1600Meters



SALIOS was withdrawn on 10.12.22 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore).

SCHNELL MEISTER was slow to begin.

DANON SCORPION began very awkwardly and shifted in across the heels of BEAUTY JOY.

EXCELLENT PROPOSAL was steadied in the early stages to obtain cover.

Approaching and passing the 1000 Metres, GOLDEN SIXTY and BEAUTY JOY (H Bowman) raced very tight.

GOLDEN SIXTY then raced close to the heels of LAWS OF INDICES approaching the 900 Metres.

H Bowman stated that whilst it was available for him to ride BEAUTY JOY along with a view to possibly shifting GOLDEN SIXTY across to race on the rail which would have provided BEAUTY JOY with the opportunity to race in a trailing position behind LAWS OF INDICES, he was reluctant to do so given BEAUTY JOY's well-documented history of proving difficult to manage in its races.

He said as BEAUTY JOY was left racing three wide and without cover with the race only being run at a fair tempo approaching the 900 Metres, he elected to allow his mount to continue forward of LAWS OF INDICES into the lead rather than remaining racing in a three wide position without cover.

Approaching the 200 Metres, DANON SCORPION shifted in and inconvenienced SCHNELL MEISTER.

A veterinary inspection of SCHNELL MEISTER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

CALIFORNIA SPANGLE and GOLDEN SIXTY were sent for sampling.
