Racing Incident Report
Race Seven : (362) - SOUND PRINT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Meters
Horse No 1 SUPERB BOY (G335) H Bowman Near the 50 Metres was steadied when crowded between LIGHT YEARS CHARM which shifted out slightly and made contact with SUPERB BOY and GRACIOUS EXPRESS which, after being initially bumped by EVERYONE'S STAR, was then taken in by that runner when EVERYONE'S STAR shifted in and away from ARMOUR WAR EAGLE when that runner became badly unbalanced.
Horse No 2 GRACIOUS EXPRESS (J188) J McDonald Between the 400 Metres and the 250 Metres was bumped on a number of occasions as LIGHT YEARS CHARM endeavoured to obtain clear running to its inside.
Near the 50 Metres became unbalanced when bumped by EVERYONE'S STAR.
Horse No 3 PRESTIGE ALWAYS (J300) B Shinn Jumped only fairly.
Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out when positioned behind ARMOUR WAR EAGLE and CHAIN OF GOLD.
After the event, B Shinn stated that his mount raced "flat" today.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 5 CHAIN OF GOLD (J138) C Williams Near the 150 Metres became held up for clear running behind GRACIOUS EXPRESS and after being shifted to the outside of that runner after the 100 Metres was then checked when ARMOUR WAR EAGLE shifted in abruptly.
Horse No 6 RISING FROM ASHES (G209) A Hamelin Crowded near the 1000 Metres.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 7 LIVEANDLETLIVE (K156) Y L Chung Shortly after the start was momentarily crowded by ARMOUR WAR EAGLE which shifted in.
Near the 1000 Metres was steadied to avoid FIND MY LOVE.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 8 EVERYONE'S STAR (K172) K C Leung From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 1000 Metres was steadied to avoid ARMOUR WAR EAGLE.
Near the 50 Metres shifted in and away from ARMOUR WAR EAGLE and made contact with GRACIOUS EXPRESS.
Horse No 9 LIGHT YEARS CHARM (K130) Z Purton Near the 50 Metres became unbalanced when bumped on the hindquarters.
When questioned, Z Purton stated that making the Home Turn he had observed GRACIOUS EXPRESS come under pressure and lay out slightly.
He said as a result when his mount had been held up for clear running he endeavoured to improve into a narrow run between SUPERB BOY and GRACIOUS EXPRESS and as a result made contact with GRACIOUS EXPRESS between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres.
He further stated that near the 300 Metres when GRACIOUS EXPRESS shifted out slightly he then again endeavoured to obtain clear running between SUPERB BOY and GRACIOUS EXPRESS but was prevented from doing so when both runners shifted ground which resulted in his mount being held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and near the 150 Metres when it shifted to the inside of SUPERB BOY.
Whilst the Stewards accepted that Z Purton was riding in a competitive manner, he was asked to exercise more care in similar circumstances and not to attempt to force running for a prolonged distance.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 10 NAMJONG KINGDOM (K015) B Avdulla Jumped only fairly.
Horse No 11 FIND MY LOVE (H110) A Pouchin Near the 1000 Metres was steadied away from PATCH OF COSMO.
Horse No 12 PATCH OF COSMO (J357) M Chadwick Near the 1300 Metres, when racing keenly, was eased to avoid SUPERB BOY which shifted in.
Near the 1000 Metres was eased when racing tight to the inside of GRACIOUS EXPRESS.
Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 13 ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) L Hewitson Shifted in at the start and was bumped.
In the early stages raced keenly and near the 1000 Metres was checked to avoid THUNDER BLINK which was taken out by RISING FROM ASHES when that runner was taken out by LIGHT YEARS CHARM (Z Purton).
Z Purton was advised to exercise more care.
L Hewitson pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 150 Metres whilst riding his mount along he endeavoured to obtain a run to the inside of RISING FROM ASHES when there was not sufficient room to do so, resulting in ARMOUR WAR EAGLE having to be checked away from RISING FROM ASHES and shortly after he endeavoured to shift his mount to the outside of RISING FROM ASHES to improve between PATCH OF COSMO and RISING FROM ASHES where there was not sufficient room to do so, resulting in ARMOUR WAR EAGLE striking the heels of RISING FROM ASHES, blundering and almost falling and also resulting in CHAIN OF GOLD, which was racing to the inside of EVERYONE'S STAR, being checked and PRESTIGE ALWAYS, which was following ARMOUR WAR EAGLE having to be checked.
L Hewitson was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Wednesday, 12 February 2025 and to expire on Monday, 17 February 2025 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays).
In addition, Jockey Hewitson was fined $40,000.
In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 3 and the consequences grade 3 and also considered his very good race riding record.
When questioned regarding his riding making the Home Turn and the reason he elected to improve to the inside of LIVEANDLETLIVE, L Hewitson stated that at its previous race start ARMOUR WAR EAGLE had improved down the outside and, in his opinion, its run ended as it was exposed too early in the Home Straight.
He said today his instructions were to endeavour to save the horse up for a run later in the Home Straight and if possible to make ground in between runners.
He said as a result making the Home Turn he elected to improve to the inside of LIVEANDLETLIVE but near the 350 Metres became held up behind PATCH OF COSMO.
He said as a result he was obliged to steady his mount until he improved into a narrow run to the inside of PATCH OF COSMO approaching the 200 Metres.
Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued and stated that since he took over the training of the horse this season its best runs had been when ridden in this manner.
Horse No 14 THUNDER BLINK (J019) M F Poon Crowded near the 1000 Metres.
Recap by phillip woo
Patch Of Cosmo got up 20m out after a wide without cover trip from better than midfield for a third win from six outings this term. Rising From Ashes found one just too good after briefly hitting the lead near the 100m following a one-off trip from just worse than midfield. Favourite Light Years Charm was badly held up for most the straight after improving off a sluggish start to travel handy on the fence. He was desperately unlucky. Drawn 14, Everyone's Star got the gaps when required to come from last at the 700m to nearly fill a placing with late betting support. It was an eye-catching debut effort in Hong Kong. Gracious Express gradually faded after tracking the leader Superb Boy from gate 13. He rarely produces a bad run at Sha Tin. Find My Love made a steady bid to finish next best after making his run five back and three deep from gate 10.
