Racing Incident Report
Race Five: (487) - THE LOK SIN TONG CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 4 - 1800Meters
ROBOT WARRIOR was bumped at the start by BOOM ALLIANCE which shifted in.
KYRUS UNICORN jumped only fairly, was then inclined to lay in and was awkwardly placed close to FUNCTION PATCH.
PALACE PAL and VINCY were slow to begin and were then shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 1200 Metres, FLYING MOJITO got its head up and raced keenly.
KYRUS UNICORN raced keenly in the middle stages and near the 1000 Metres got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of FUNCTION PATCH.
PALACE PAL was briefly held up near the 450 Metres.
Passing the 450 Metres, FUNCTION PATCH lay out and away from BOOM ALLIANCE and bumped GOLD TACK.
Approaching the 200 Metres, VINCY was held up behind PAKISTAN FRIEND and was shifted to that runner's inside to obtain clear running.
A Badel, the rider of WINNING STEPS, was fined $7,500 for using the whip on numerous occasions down the horse's right shoulder in the Home Straight.
When questioned regarding his riding of GOLD TACK, H Bowman stated that whilst he was not given specific instructions to ride his mount forward, connections were of the opinion that GOLD TACK would naturally take up a forward position.
He said in the early stages the pace, in his opinion, was good and this resulted in GOLD TACK settling further back than had been anticipated.
He added that throughout the early and middle stages GOLD TACK was unable to obtain cover and when the pace near the 1200 Metres reduced, this resulted in GOLD TACK travelling better at this stage and for this reason he was reluctant to allow his mount to stride forward.
He added that his decision to remain racing in a midfield position was also influenced by the fact that he was racing behind and to the outside of the winner WINNING STEPS and he had anticipated that had he made a forward move, this would result in GOLD TACK being taken wider.
He further stated that at the 800 Metres when WINNING STEPS shifted out, he was able to obtain cover behind that horse and followed it into the Straight before shifting to its outside where GOLD TACK had clear and unimpeded running to the finish.
A veterinary inspection of FUNCTION PATCH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
FLYING MOJITO, WINNING STEPS and GO GO SIXTEEN were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Winning Steps knuckled down to win a battle after hitting the front 200m out following a three wide run from the 750m in midfield. It was his first success but he did flash potential in two earlier 1,800m runs on both surfaces from six starts. Well-backed Go Go Sixteen ran on nicely down the outside to make it close on the wire after a wide trip towards the rear. He continues to race well. Favourite Flying Mojito found a couple just too good after draw level for the front 50m out following a prominent run with cover despite gate 13. It was another fine effort. Palace Pal came from last near the inside to just miss a placing. He handled a rise in trip after hitting the line well for fourth last-start. Gold Tack made some ground without ever looking a threat after a wide without cover run from behind midfield. He had an excuse. Vincy made headway late after a patient ride one from the rear. Robot Warrior made mild bid after a one off run from behind midfield. Pakistan Friend faded after getting all favours in the box seat. He's not genuine.
