Racing Incident Report
Race One : (337) - WU KAI SHA HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1200Meters
Horse No 1 SKY PROPHET (J095) E C W Wong Jumped only fairly.
Making the Home Turn raced tight to the inside of FUNG as that runner commenced to give ground.
Over the concluding stages was taken in and near the winning post was eased to avoid EXCELLENT DADDY (L Ferraris) which shifted in.
L Ferraris was advised to exercise more care.
Approaching the finishing line the whip of Apprentice E C W Wong became caught in the whip of B Thompson, the rider of FALCON COURT.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 3 CURRAHEE (J204) M Chadwick Shortly after the start was eased when crowded between FALCON COURT and EXCELLENT DADDY which shifted out slightly.
Horse No 4 SPEED SWORD (H397) H Bowman Jumped only fairly.
Over the concluding stages was eased when crowded between CHEER FOR SOUTH and SMART LEADER which shifted in slightly.
Horse No 5 FLYING DRAGON (E360) K C Leung Near the 200 Metres had some difficulty obtaining clear running between DIAMOND SOARS and CHEER FOR SOUTH and as a result made contact with CHEER FOR SOUTH.
Horse No 6 FUNG (J101) Z Purton After the event, Z Purton stated that his mount resented the kickback on the All Weather surface and in the Home Straight gave ground under pressure.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
The performance of FUNG, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, FUNG will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Horse No 7 EXCELLENT DADDY (E321) L Ferraris Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 8 FALCON COURT (J056) B Thompson After the event, B Thompson stated that the instructions were to settle in a midfield position.
He said after commencing well and when caught wide in the early stages he elected to allow FALCON COURT to stride forward to cross runners to his inside to avoid racing wide.
He said as a result his mount raced in a more forward position than anticipated.
Horse No 9 DIAMOND SOARS (G201) A Pouchin Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Recap by phillip woo
Veteran Excellent Daddy came with a sterling move down the outside to deny Patch Of Watch and land back-to-back wins after a patient ride travelling wide towards the rear. Patch of Watch wouldn't go down without a fight after claiming the lead outright 450m out following a pace-prompting run along the inside from gate two with the claim well utilised. It was his best performance from 13 starts. Post-time favourite Sky Prophet ran on steadily for third after a rails run from midfield. It was an improved run following a downgrade and switch in surfaces. Falcon Court stayed on well for fourth after vying for the front in between runners from a tricky gate. He was able to back up a pleasing fifth when ridden for luck when trying this surface for the first time last month. Currahee was making inroads late near the inside after biding his time one from the rear. It was a better effort following a downgrade and return to the dirt 1,200m. Smart Leader ran on without threatening after making his run one off travelling behind midfield. He's in the right grade again but the big weight took its toll.
