Recap by phillip woo

Youth Power sat in the box seat and drew clear after hitting the front near the 200m for a first win at his 16th start. Casa Legend came from near last and widest out to get the head down for second. It was another good effort carrying more weight following a win. Pakistan Friend was just outdashed for second after straightening out wide following a patient ride three from the rear. He goes well fresh. Red Maverick made headway late after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He produced his best run to date at his first effort over 1,600m. Not A Few ran on late near the inside for fifth without threatening the top four. It was a positive effort following a stable change and he should find his mark shortly in this grade. Mister Fox made some ground late without threatening after making his run five back and one off the fence. Merchant Prince had little left over the final 100m after moving to the lead 300m out following a speed-tracking role outside Precision Goal from gate 13.

Racing Incident Report

Race One : (111) - THE WITH YOU - THEN - NOW - ALWAYS - 1600M HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1600Meters

Horse No 1 NOT A FEW (J109) H Bowman Slow to begin.

Horse No 2 NOBLE WIN (H195) A Atzeni Jumped only fairly and then was crowded shortly after the start by YOUTH POWER which shifted out.

Near the 1200 Metres, after improving to the inside of BEAU GOSSE, then had to be steadied when crowded by BEAU GOSSE which was racing tight to the inside of RED MAVERICK (Y L Chung).

Y L Chung was advised to exercise more care.

After the event, A Atzeni stated that his mount travelled satisfactorily in a midfield position, but after being briefly held up in the early part of the Home Straight and again near the 200 Metres NOBLE WIN finished the race off only fairly.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer" which had previously been reported.

Horse No 3 CASA LEGEND (G126) M F Poon When questioned, M F Poon stated that his instructions were to ride his mount where comfortable but ensured that he obtained cover.

He said CASA LEGEND began only fairly and when caught to the outside of E TALENT he was of the opinion had he elected to go forward this would have resulted in CASA LEGEND racing wide and without cover.

He said as a consequence he elected to allow CASA LEGEND to race towards the rear of the field where it was able to obtain cover.

He added his decision to do so was also influenced by the fact that CASA LEGEND had won on 15 June 2024 when ridden in a similar position towards the rear of the field.

Trainer C W Chang confirmed the instructions issued.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 6 MERCHANT PRINCE (H268) B Thompson After the event, B Thompson reported that from the outside barrier the intention was to take up a position forward of midfield.

He said when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to allow MERCHANT PRINCE to stride forward and race outside the lead to avoid racing wide.

Horse No 7 HARRY'S HERO (H332) M Chadwick When giving ground near the 350 Metres was steadied when crowded between PAKISTAN FRIEND and MISTER FOX (A Badel) which shifted out.

A Badel was advised to exercise more care.

Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Horse No 8 YOUTH POWER (H358) M L Yeung Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 9 PRECISION GOAL (H016) K Teetan Bumped on the hindquarters on jumping.

Horse No 10 BEAU GOSSE (G389) C L Chau Jumped only fairly, shifted out and bumped with PRECISION GOAL.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 12 E TALENT (H310) P N Wong Shifted in at the start and was bumped.

Apprentice P N Wong was warned in relation to using the whip on her mount when it was out of contention.
