Racing Incident Report
Race Two: (389) - ON TING HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1600Meters
BULB DRAGON and THE HULK bumped at the start.
PALACE PAL jumped only fairly and then was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
From the outside barriers, STARSHIP EIGHTY and SMART BEAUTY were also shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
In the early stages, TURQUOISE ALPHA raced keenly when being steadied in an attempt to obtain cover.
Near the 1300 Metres, PERFETTO was steadied away from the heels of GOLD TACK which shifted in.
Also near the 1300 Metres, MACH TEN got its head up when being steadied to obtain cover.
TURQUOISE ALPHA raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
When questioned regarding his riding of BULB DRAGON (A Hamelin) and in particular the lead established by that runner together with OSCAR GLORY in the early stages, A Hamelin advised that his instructions were to lead on BULB DRAGON, however, if the pace was strong, to endeavour to obtain a position behind the lead.
He said after jumping well BULB DRAGON was able to hold a position in the lead and was soon joined by OSCAR GLORY passing the 1400 Metres.
He added that near the 1200 Metres when he felt that the pace of the event was quick, he commenced to take hold of his mount to allow OSCAR GLORY to cross and lead, but as he did so Apprentice Y L Chung, the rider of OSCAR GLORY, also restrained his mount which resulted in BULB DRAGON maintaining the lead.
He said with BULB DRAGON wearing blinkers today and OSCAR GLORY being positioned directly to his outside, this also contributed to his mount not responding to his efforts to come back and obtain cover behind OSCAR GLORY.
When questioned regarding his riding of OSCAR GLORY, Apprentice Y L Chung stated that his instructions were to lead today's event.
He said from a wide barrier after commencing well he positioned OSCAR GLORY outside BULB DRAGON.
He added that near the 1200 Metres when he identified that the pace of the event was strong, he elected to restrain OSCAR GLORY and take up a position outside BULB DRAGON, however, OSCAR GLORY raced keenly and did not respond to his efforts to restrain and as a result set a faster tempo than he would have liked.
After considering the explanations offered by A Hamelin and Apprentice Chung and taking into account the sectional times of the event which indicated the pace between the 1200 Metres and the 800 Metres was run only slightly quicker than standard, the Stewards advised both riders that they should endeavour, wherever possible, to rate their mounts at a sustainable pace to allow them to finish in the best possible placing in the field.
The performance of BULB DRAGON, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, BULB DRAGON will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of OSCAR GLORY, BULB DRAGON sand MACH TEN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
PERFETTO and DARCI JOY were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Even money favourite Perfetto won geared down after hitting the front 200m out from behind midfield. He had caught the eye in his past two starts and was suited by the fast pace and rise in trip. Darci Joy stayed on nicely for second after a handy run on the fence. He relished a step back to 1,600m. Gold Tack ran on steadily from midfield to fill a placing. He appreciated the rise in trip after doing some nice work late in his first two starts over 1,200m. Palace Pal made headway late to fill the frame travelling five back on the fence as the duelling leaders strung out the field. He can produce an odd better run now and then. The Hulk ran on late near the outside to finish next best after making his run three from the rear. Starship Eighty ran on without threatening after trailing the field by about 20 lengths at one point. He mixes his form but the three-year-old has shown flashes of ability at times. Turquoise Alpha made a mild bid after travelling five back and three wide without cover. Oscar Glory was on his tippy toes 150m out after vying for the front to the outside of Bulb Dragon. He gave himself no chance.
