Racing Incident Report
Race Eight: (18) - MUI WO HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters
Whilst proceeding to the Start, ALLGREEKTOME was kicked by a lead pony and sustained a wound to the left hind leg.
Acting on veterinary advice that ALLGREEKTOME was not suitable to race, the horse was withdrawn by order of the Stewards.
Before being allowed to race again, ALLGREEKTOME will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
SUPERB CAPITALIST jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
EXCELLENT PEERS jumped only fairly and was then crowded by PACKING BOLE which shifted in abruptly.
REWARD SMILE and BRILLIANT WAY bumped shortly after the start.
From the outside barriers, SUGAR SUGAR and LUCKY GOLD were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
PACKING BOLE raced keenly in the early and middle stages.
Approaching the 1000 Metres, SUPERB CAPITALIST, which was racing keenly, shifted out when being steadied away from the heels of EXCELLENT PEERS, resulting in SUPERB CAPITALIST crowding the running of BRILLIANT WAY when that runner was racing tight to the inside of REWARD SMILE (L Currie).
The Stewards found that the principal reason for the interference was due to the racing manners of SUPERB CAPITALIST, however, L Currie was advised in similar circumstances to exercise more care.
Near the 800 Metres, BRILLIANT WAY was steadied when momentarily crowded by SUPERB CAPITALIST (Apprentice Y L Chung) which was steadied and shifted in before being corrected by its rider.
Apprentice Chung was advised to exercise more care.
In this incident, REWARD SMILE, which was following SUPERB CAPITALIST and was racing keenly, was checked to avoid that horse.
SUPERB CAPITALIST continued to race keenly when obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
SUGAR SUGAR lay out on the Home Turn.
Near the 250 Metres, EXCELLENT PEERS shifted out and away from PACKING BOLE, resulting in SUPERB CAPITALIST having to be eased.
After the race, K C Leung (PACKING BOLE) could offer no excuse for his mount's disappointing performance.
A veterinary inspection of PACKING BOLE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
The performance of PACKING BOLE was considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, PACKING BOLE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of REWARD SMILE and ONE FOR ALL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
ONE FOR ALL, XPONENTIAL and SUGAR SUGAR were sent for sampling.

Recap by phillip woo
Xponential claimed the front 200m out and held on by a short head for his sixth win and fifth victory over 1,200m at Happy Valley. He is a very tough horse and honest as the day is long. Sugar Sugar rushed home late near the inside to make it close on the wire after settling fourth last from gate 11. He is always a chance over the city circuit's six furlongs. Armour Eagle battled away after his prominent run on the fence to take third. He rarely produces a bad run over this course. Excellent Peers made a steady bid to fill the frame after his handy run. He ran well, but he finds things too rich around his current mark. Post-time favourite One For All knocked up late after dictating the run from barrier four. He performed OK for his new trainer, Mark Newnham, despite rising in class. Superb Capitalist held his ground after getting posted wide without cover in midfield. Reward Smile never menaced after settling near last from stall seven. The big weight did not help him. Stewards withdrew popular pick Allgreektome during the paddock parade on vets' advice.
