Racing Incident Report
Race Ten: (299) - CHINESE BANYAN HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1000Meters
WE ARE HERO shifted out on jumping and bumped the hindquarters of PLEASANT ENDEAVOR.
RUN RUN COOL and MAGIC TORONADO bumped on jumping.
After the 900 Metres, SUPERB BOY and WE ARE HERO raced tight.
In the middle stages, FLYING DRAGON got its head on the side and lay in under pressure.
Approaching the 250 Metres, SUPERB BOY was shifted to the inside of METRO WARRIOR after being disappointed for running between that horse and WE ARE HERO.
WE ARE HERO was then badly held up for clear running approaching and passing the 200 Metres and after the 200 Metres raced tight outside SUPERB BOY.
SUPERB BOY and WE ARE HERO then continued to race tight as WE ARE HERO remained badly held up for clear running behind METRO WARRIOR.
WE ARE HERO was then unable to obtain clear running until close to the finishing line and because of this was not able to be properly tested.
Passing the 200 Metres, FLYING DRAGON was crowded for room between SPECIAL M and CALIFORNIA RAD which shifted out before being corrected by its rider.
A veterinary inspection of FLYING DRAGON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
WE ARE HERO, METRO WARRIOR and PLEASANT ENDEAVOR were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Well-backed late Metro Warrior kept finding and just prevailed after rushing forward from a low draw to narrowly shade Pleasant Endeavor for the front for a third career win over the straight 1,000m. He's always a chance at this level. Pleasant Endeavor plugged on nicely to finish a close second prompting the pace on the grandstand side. He's racing well this season, especially over the straight 1,000m. Super Boy stayed on nicely to finish a close third after getting out of a jam 200m out following a handy run. He's run well in back-to-back starts after winning on debut in Hong Kong. Favourite We Are Hero was unlucky not to have finished in the placings after getting badly held up for a run from the 250m following a midfield run on the stands side. He proved an easy win last start in Class Four was not a fluke. California Rad held his ground after a prominent run on the far side from a low draw. It was a better effort following a downgrade.
