Racing Incident Report
Race One : (513) - BOWRINGTON HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1800Meters
Horse No 2 CLASSIC ARCHI (G295) L Ferraris Jumped only fairly and then was bumped shortly after the start.
Horse No 4 DRAGON PRIDE (D164) A Badel Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 5 GO GO GO (H196) Z Purton When questioned, Z Purton stated that making the Home Turn his mount was held up for clear running behind HORSE OF GOOD LUCK.
He stated that on entering the Home Straight near the 300 Metres GO GO GO remained held up when disappointed for clear running between HORSE OF GOOD LUCK and SUPER HORNET which shifted in.
He said after obtaining clear running near the 200 Metres between SUPER HORNET and HORSE OF GOOD LUCK, he was unable to ride his mount along when FASTPASS, which was positioned in advance of him, was giving ground.
He added that he then improved to the inside of FASTPASS approaching the 100 Metres, but when that runner shifted in, he could not fully ride GO GO GO out to the finish of the event as he was concerned that he may cause interference to HORSE OF GOOD LUCK which was positioned to his inside.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 6 SMART BEAUTY (G477) B Avdulla When questioned, B Avdulla stated that he was instructed to hold a midfield position from a favourable barrier, but SMART BEAUTY jumped only fairly and as a result was positioned towards the back of the field.
He said in the early stages when he was positioned to the outside of CLASSIC ARCHI and behind that runner slightly, he elected to shift behind that runner to avoid racing wide which resulted in SMART BEAUTY settling further back than what he had intended.
He added approaching the first turn near the 1400 Metres he endeavoured to maintain a position one-off behind CLASSIC ARCHI, but when racing tight to the inside of SUPERB DADDY, he elected to allow that runner to take his mount towards the rail to avoid contesting that position.
B Avdulla further stated that in the early stages he was reluctant to ride his mount along as it has had a tendency to race keenly in its races when pressured in the early stages.
He stated that throughout the middle stages SMART BEAUTY raced keenly and from the 550 Metres started a forward move around the field but was taken wider on the Home Turn by SUPERB DADDY.
He added in the Home Straight SMART BEAUTY lay in which restricted his ability from pushing it out over the final 100 Metres of the event.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 7 SUPERB DADDY (D235) Y L Chung Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 8 CIRCUIT ELITE (E487) K C Leung Slow to begin.
Raced wide and without cover until near the 750 Metres where it was ridden forward to obtain a position in the lead.
Horse No 10 DIAMOND WINNER (H285) A Hamelin Jumped only fairly.
For some distance approaching the 600 Metres raced tight between DRAGON PRIDE and SUPERB DADDY.
After the race, A Hamelin could offer no explanation for his mount's failure to run on in the Home Straight.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 12 SUPER HORNET (G043) M Chadwick Slow to begin.
Near the 300 Metres lay in when improving to the inside of LOYAL AMBITION, resulting in its rider M Chadwick having to correct his mount.
Recap by phillip woo
After peeling into the open upon straightening following a rails run behind midfield, Dragon Pride ran on nicely to take control 30m out for a sixth career win. He's always a chance at this level and appreciated the blinkers coming off. Superb Daddy finished well with one wider out to overhaul leader Circuit Elite in deep stretch for second. He was able to build on a closing fifth last start over the Valley 1,650m. Circuit Elite stayed on well for third after going forward to lead 600m out following a wide trip. It was his best run of the campaign. Loyal Ambition plugged on for fourth after settling one off chasing the speed in third. It was another honest effort. Punted late, Nice Birdie made a mild bid following a one-off trip from behind midfield. He just hasn't been good enough carrying big weights in his past five starts following a win. Favourite Smart Beauty ran on without threatening from the rear of the field. He couldn't cope with a switch in venues carrying 10 pounds more following a last-start win. Diamond Winner left things too late after biding his time two from the rear.
