Recap by phillip woo

Supported late in betting, Beauty Champ quickened nicely to win going away 100m out after a wide trip with cover from behind midfield for a first local win at his 15th start. The step up to a mile on the dirt and gear change worked the oracle. Nice Birdie ran on strongly to finish a clear-cut cut second from behind. He relished a rise in trip after running on well for fifth on debut over 1,200m. The Multiplier kept plugging away for a placing after a prominent run with cover from gate 14. It was another honest performance despite a rise in class and distance. Favourite Green Laser came up one-paced after getting held up early straight following a box seat run. It was another honest effort. Sun Of Makfi ran on well to finish next best after peeling outside a wall of horses 150m out from behind midfield. He had an excuse.

Apprentice Y L Chung (SKYEY SUPREME) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that making the turn after the winning post on the first occasion he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of LUCK STAR, resulting in LUCK STAR being taken in onto KEEN UNITY, causing KEEN UNITY to be taken across the rightful running of SURREALISM which was checked.

Apprentice Chung was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Saturday, 21 January 2023 and to expire on Wednesday, 25 January 2023 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays).

In addition, Apprentice Chung was fined $15,000 After being hampered near the 1500 Metres, KEEN UNITY proved very difficult to settle and passing the 1400 Metres was checked away from the heels of LUCK STAR.

KEEN UNITY then continued to prove very difficult to settle and got its head on the side and hung out across the heels of PEAK TO PEAK approaching the 1300 Metres.

When KEEN UNITY shifted out, BEAUTY CHAMP was hampered and taken wider.

After this, BEAUTY CHAMP was steadied to obtain cover behind KEEN UNITY, resulting in AMAZING TEENS being crowded for room near the 1200 Metres outside NICE BIRDIE which also shifted out.
