Racing Incident Report
Race Four : (169) - PANASONIC SMART LOCK HANDICAP - Class 4 - 2000Meters
Horse No 2 SILVER KING (H420) B Thompson A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer" which had previously been reported.
Horse No 3 BILLIONAIRE SECRET (G303) M Chadwick Shortly after the start was steadied and got its head up when being bumped by PRINCIPLED which shifted in and away from HAPPY HERO.
BILLIONAIRE SECRET was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages from a wide barrier.
Horse No 4 PRINCIPLED (J206) A Hamelin Shifted in shortly after the start and was bumped.
Horse No 5 PERFECT PAIRING (J331) H Bowman When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight and the reason he shifted out to obtain clear running rather than following JOYFUL PROSPERITY into the event, H Bowman stated that on straightening he was of the opinion that JOYFUL PROSPERITY would have difficulty obtaining clear running when it was positioned behind JUBILATION.
He said as a result he then elected to shift to the outside of JOYFUL PROSPERITY in an attempt to obtain clear running, however, became held up behind SILVER KING and LITTLE FAIRY for some distance near the 400 Metres.
He further added that from the 350 Metres he was unable to fully test his mount when positioned behind CONFRINGO and did not obtain clear running until approaching the 150 Metres where he shifted his mount to the outside of STORM WINNER to obtain clear running.
After considering his explanation, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Bowman were reasonable in the circumstances.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 6 AFFORDABLE (J242) C L Chau From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Horse No 7 HAPPY HERO (G322) L Hewitson When questioned, L Hewitson stated that the preference was to ride HAPPY HERO conservatively from its wide barrier, but if the pace of the race was not quick he had an option to hold a more forward position.
He said after his mount commenced well, HAPPY HERO was able to obtain a handy position, however, was obliged to race wide and without cover.
He further stated that he was reluctant to allow HAPPY HERO to stride forward in the middle stages as he was of the opinion that this would result in the pace of the event increasing as he felt the leaders would resist his attempts to cross to the front.
Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued.
Horse No 8 JOYFUL PROSPERITY (H213) Z Purton Jumped only fairly.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 9 JUBILATION (G029) M L Yeung Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 11 LITTLE FAIRY (H206) B Avdulla Held up making the Home Turn and near the 400 Metres improved into a tight run between JOYFUL PROSPERITY and SILVER KING which was commencing to give ground.
As a result, LITTLE FAIRY became unbalanced when racing tight between those two runners.
Horse No 12 MANAGEMENT FOLKS (E496) M F Poon Slow to begin.
Near the 200 Metres was eased and shifted to the outside of AFFORDABLE to continue into clear running.
Horse No 13 STORM WINNER (J069) K Teetan Near the 200 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running between CONFRINGO and HAPPY HERO.
After obtaining clear running shortly after lay in and away from HAPPY HERO over the concluding stages and proved difficult to ride out to the finish of the event.
Recap by phillip woo
Joyful Prosperity got up in the last stride after a rails run from midfield for back-to-back wins despite a return to Class Four over a longer trip. He's in a rich vein of form and can win again. Jubilation did everything but get the win after coming off the fence to lead 240m out following a prominent run. He's close to a win. Charity Gain came on late through the middle to finish third without threatening the top two following a wide trip without cover. Affordable came from last with one wider out to just miss a placing. It was clearly his best run from 11 local starts following a gear change and step up to 2,000m. Management Folks ran on nicely down the outside for fifth after settling second last following a slow start. It was a good effort. Arthur's Kingdom was on his tippy toes 100m out after getting pestered for the lead to his outside by Silver King. He was returning to Sha Tin over a longer trip following two solid runs at the Valley this season. Billionaire Secret only plodded over the last 150m after a mid-race move from towards the rear.
