Racing Incident Report
Race Four : (196) - KWU TUNG HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters
Horse No 2 LEEDOX (J154) A Atzeni Bounded on jumping and lost ground.
Horse No 3 VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (J079) M Chadwick M Chadwick was questioned in relation to his riding out over the concluding stages.
He agreed with the Stewards that in retrospect he had desisted from riding his mount out too soon.
He was advised that at all times he should ensure that he fully rides his mounts out to the finish of the race so that he does not compromise his placing in the field.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 5 FOREMOST TEDDY (J058) J McDonald After the event, J McDonald reported that his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the race and as a result did not respond to his riding when placed under pressure in the Home Straight.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 6 U S S CONSTITUTION (H357) A Badel Bumped at the start.
Held up for clear running on the Home Turn.
Horse No 7 STRONGEST BOY (H027) Z Purton Near the 1500 Metres was steadied to avoid VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (M Chadwick) which shifted in when not quite clear.
M Chadwick was advised to exercise more care.
Over the concluding stages could not be fully ridden out when placed in restricted room between SMART CITY and SUPER BABY which shifted in slightly.
After the event, Z Purton stated that his instructions were to settle his mount where comfortable.
He said in the early stages he was obliged to make some use of his mount to cross U S S CONSTITUTION which resulted in STRONGEST BOY having to be ridden slightly more forward than what he had anticipated.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 10 SUPER BABY (G364) H Bowman After the event, H Bowman confirmed his instructions were to lead the event.
He said despite riding his mount along in the early stages it failed to show sufficient pace to do so.
He said when caught wide in the early stages he elected to obtain a trailing position behind FOREMOST TEDDY and as a result SUPER BABY settled further back than had been intended.
Horse No 11 COURIER MAGIC (H290) B Thompson Jumped awkwardly and then bumped with U S S CONSTITUTION.
Making the Home Turn near the 400 Metres became unbalanced when improving into a tight run to the inside of GLUCK RACER.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 12 GLUCK RACER (E157) C Y Ho Jumped awkwardly, got its head up and as a consequence lost ground.
Recap by phillip woo
Viva Graciousness led from gate six and never looked back to win geared down in the concluding stages for a first win at his 14th local start. Courier Magic ran on late near the inside for second after making his run five back on the fence. He can bob up at any moment after placing in two of four starts this term. Smart City kept on well to finish a close third after a box-seat run. He was able to build on a rallying fourth last Wednesday and a win is around the corner in this grade. Super Baby produced a good bid late for fourth after being ridden for luck near the rear from gate 12. He's finished in the mix in his past four starts this term. Early favourite Can't Go Wong was getting going late for fifth near the outside after settling two from the rear and three wide in the run from a tricky gate. He wasn't suited by the race conditions. Strongest Boy had his chance after a one-out, one-back run but only plodded over the last 100m. It was just another OK performance this season. Gluck Racer held his ground after a rails run from midfield. Mister Dapper came from last to finish next best from gate 11. He's better at Sha Tin.
