Recap by phillip woo

Firming to jump the odds-on favourite, Hoss showed a good turn of foot to overhaul Party Warrior for his third win from his past four starts, all of them over this course and distance. He will remain in the grade, and he could win again. Well-backed late, Party Warrior found one just too good after weaving a run near the inside from last to hit the lead 60m out. He is always a chance over Happy Valley's 1,200m. Wings Of War ran on nicely for third after biding his time second last from his tricky gate. Racing in blinkers for the first time, it was the best of his four local runs. Victory Scholars grudgingly gave way after vying for the lead on the fence with O' Liner. It was another genuine effort despite his rise in class following his last-start win. Compassion Super stayed on evenly after his one-off-the-rail run better than midfield. Beauty Tycoon has his chance after effectively travelling one out, one back, but his heavy weight took its toll over the final 100m. He is on his mark. Jolly Ruler will sleep well after getting caught wide without cover better than midfield. He had an excuse.

Racing Incident Report

Race Seven: (632) - THE ST GEORGE'S CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 3 - 1200Meters



MAYHEM jumped only fairly and then was crowded for room between PARTY WARRIOR and NAMJONG SINGS which shifted out.

In this incident, NAMJONG SINGS lost its left front plate.

MAYHEM was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Soon after the start, JOLLY RULER shifted out and away from VICTORY SCHOLARS and as a result made contact with YOU'REMYEVERYTHING, taking YOU'REMYEVERYTHING out and causing WINGS OF WAR to be eased when crowded between YOU'REMYEVERYTHING and O'LINER.

From the outside barrier, PARTY WARRIOR was also shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

VICTORY SCHOLARS hung out making the first turn.

HUMBLE STAR was held up on the Home Turn.

Passing the 300 Metres, HOSS improved into a narrow run between JOLLY RULER and COMPASSION SPIRIT.

A short distance later, COMPASSION SPIRIT shifted out slightly, causing HOSS to shift out and bump JOLLY RULER, resulting in JOLLY RULER becoming unbalanced, shifting out and hampering NAMJONG SINGS.

When placed under pressure in the Straight, MAYHEM was inclined to lay in and proved difficult to ride out.

JOLLY RULER raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

A veterinary inspection of JOLLY RULER immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils.

When questioned regarding his riding on the Home Turn, H Bentley (WINGS OF WAR) stated that after following HOSS making the Home Turn, he elected to remain racing behind that runner with a view to following it through as it was the favourite in the event.

He added that he felt in the circumstances to come wide would not have assisted his horse's chances by having to cover additional ground.

He said although briefly held up on the Home Turn, when HOSS quickened at the top of the Straight, WINGS OF WAR secured clear running and was able to finish the race off well.

HOSS and PARTY WARRIOR were sent for sampling.
