Racing Incident Report
Race Seven : (35) - ISLAND HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters
Horse No 1 KAHOLO ANGEL (H216) H Bowman Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 2 POWER KOEPP (E301) K C Leung Near the 600 Metres was momentarily crowded by BRAVE STAR when that runner was taken in by HEALTHY HEALTHY which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 3 MUST GO (J133) B Avdulla A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 5 PARTERRE (E234) L Hewitson A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 6 BRAVE STAR (G268) C Y Ho Bumped on the hindquarters shortly after the start.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 7 YOUNG ARROW (J401) K Teetan Shifted out at the start and was bumped.
Horse No 8 HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) Z Purton When questioned, Z Purton stated that his instructions were not to make use of his mount in the early stages as HEALTHY HEALTHY has raced in a disappointing manner when ridden this way previously.
He said as a consequence in the early stages HEALTHY HEALTHY was caught wide and without cover.
He said after entering the Back Straight when positioned to the outside of EXCELLENT PEERS, he elected to allow HEALTHY HEALTHY to stride forward as his instructions were also not to break the horse's momentum and keep it running at a comfortable rhythm.
He added as a result HEALTHY HEALTHY was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event and after laying in near the 600 Metres finished the race off well.
Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions issued and expressed satisfaction with the tactics adopted by Jockey Purton.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 9 MOJAVE DESERT (J330) L Ferraris From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 150 Metres L Ferraris had his whip knocked from his grasp by K C Leung, the rider of POWER KOEPP.
Horse No 10 EXCELLENT PEERS (G033) M Chadwick Near the 600 Metres lay in and was steadied away from MUST GO which shifted out slightly.
Recap by phillip woo
Brave Star kept finding after working to the lead 150m out for a third career win over the Valley 1,200m. He lived up to a winning trial in Conghua and does go well fresh. Healthy Healthy stayed on nicely for second after getting posted four wide without cover in midfield at one point from gate nine. Like the winner, he had made a good impression from his recent trials. Young Arrow roared home late for third after biding his time one from the rear. He should be picking up a race soon. Sovereign Fund kept on reasonably well for fourth after stalking the pace outside long-time leader Parterre. It was an improved effort following a gear change and a switch to the Valley. Favourite Kaholo Angel ran on without threatening after making his run from behind midfield on the fence. He was carrying top weight and wasn't suited by the race tempo. Mojave Desert was making noticeable ground late near the inside after settling in third last from the widest draw. It was a positive showing after flashing hints of ability in three Sha Tin outings last term.
