Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (453) - THE HONG KONG CLASSIC CUP - Class 4YO - 1800Meters
GALAXY WITNESS shifted in at the start and bumped heavily with FLAGSHIP WARRIOR.
BON'S A PEARLA was steadied when crowded at the start between MAJESTIC COLOUR and SUPER SUNNY SING which shifted in.
From wide barriers, SINBA and LA CITY BLANCHE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
MAJESTIC COLOUR raced keenly in the early and middle stages and near the 1300 Metres was steadied away from the heels of KEEFY.
ENCOUNTERED raced keenly in the middle stages and approaching the 1300 Metres was steadied away from the heels of SWORD POINT.
Near the 450 Metres, ENCOUNTERED was steadied when momentarily crowded between KEEFY which shifted out slightly and BEAUTYVERSE which shifted in when commencing to give ground.
SINBA was held up for clear running between the 450 Metres and the 350 Metres.
After the race, J McDonald (BEAUTYVERSE) reported that although his mount endured a wide run without cover for the majority of the race, when he felt that there was something amiss with BEAUTYVERSE in the Straight, he did not continue to fully test it to the finish when not in a competitive position.
A veterinary inspection of BEAUTYVERSE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
The performance of BEAUTYVERSE was considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, BEAUTYVERSE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination which must include additional diagnostic assessments.
A veterinary inspection of KEEFY and SWEET ENCOUNTER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
SUPER SUNNY SING and SWORD POINT were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Super Sunny Sing responded nicely when asked for an effort to overhaul a stubborn Sword Point in the late stages from behind midfield for a fifth win, including four on the trot, from nine starts. He handled the rise in trip with aplomb and will start among the favourites in the Derby. Sword Point kept on gamely for second after assuming the lead from Voyage Bubble 300m out working forward to track the speed from gate 13. He's a nice type. Galaxy Witness finished nicely to fill a placing after a patient ride third last. It was another honest effort despite a rise in trip. Tuchel had his chance after a handy run on the fence but only plodded over the last 100m. Flagship Warrior came from near last to finish next best. He ran well. Voyage Bubble weakened over the last 100m after getting pressured for the lead. He had a harder time up front trying a longer trip. Bon's A Pearla came up one paced from midfield. She had her chance. Majestic Colour came up one paced after a one-off trip from midfield. La City Blanche ran on without menacing from the rear of the field. He is crying out for the Derby's 2,000m trip.
