Recap by phillip woo

Beauty Eternal just held off Beauty Joy by a head bob after working to the front 250m out following a prominent run to ring up an eighth win from 12 starts. He was given a lovely ride after getting the race run to suit. Well-backed Beauty Joy came from last of five runners to make it close on the wire. He might have won if rider Derek Leung Ka-chun had not tossed away the whip 250m out. Voyage Bubble kept on reasonably well to finish a distant third after rushing forward to pressure the leader 900m. It was a good effort after knee surgery in May. Favourite California Spangle was repeatedly bothered for the lead and didn't have much left in the tank over the last 100m. He's at his best when allowed to bowl along uncontested. Specked late Healthy Happy never landed a blow settling box seat after getting impeded near the 1,200m. He's not a miler.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight : (183) - THE BOCHK PRIVATE WEALTH JOCKEY CLUB MILE - Class G2 - 1600Meters



Horse No 1 CALIFORNIA SPANGLE (E314) M Chadwick When questioned regarding the disappointing performance, M Chadwick stated that he was obliged to make some use of his mount along the Back Straight to cross HEALTHY HAPPY.

He said CALIFORNIA SPANGLE travelled well in the lead, but from the 500 Metres was pressured when VOYAGE BUBBLE improved to his outside.

He added soon after entering the Home Straight CALIFORNIA SPANGLE failed to respond to his riding from that point.

Trainer A S Cruz agreed with the views of Jockey Chadwick and also added that CALIFORNIA SPANGLE was required to give 5 lbs to the other runners in the race and that the time of the event, particularly in the early stages, was run faster than standard.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Before being allowed to race again, CALIFORNIA SPANGLE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 2 BEAUTY JOY (E058) K C Leung When questioned, K C Leung explained that approaching the 300 Metres he changed his whip from his right to his left hand whereby he struck BEAUTY JOY on one occasion.

He said as he then endeavoured to strike BEAUTY J OY on the second occasion, he lost the whip from his grasp and as a consequence was unable to use it for the remainder of the event.

K C Leung was warned and advised that he should ensure at all times, where possible, that he maintains proper control over his whip.

In taking no action against Jockey Leung, the Stewards considered that he has not offended similarly for over two years.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 3 HEALTHY HAPPY (D435) A Atzeni Jumped only fairly.

Near the 1300 Metres got its head up when being steadied as it was crossed by CALIFORNIA SPANGLE.

Near the 1000 Metres, after improving to the inside of CALIFORNIA SPANGLE, HEALTHY HAPPY was steadied when crossed by CALIFORNIA SPANGLE (M Chadwick) which shifted in when not quite clear.

M Chadwick was severely reprimanded and advised he must ensure he provides sufficient clearance when shifting ground.

Horse No 5 BEAUTY ETERNAL (H008) Z Purton Sent for sampling post-race.
