1 J517  HONG LOK GOLF  14/01/2026   351  HONG LOK GOLF (J517) rider stated that his mount travelled satisfactorily throughout the event and, in his view, whilst it had won its only race start at Happy Valley, it did not appreciate racing around the tight circuit. Trainer stated that the horse had pleased him leading into the race and whilst a veterinary inspection found the horse to be lame in its left front leg he concurred with the view of rider that the horse was not entirely comfortable racing at Happy Valley. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its left front leg. Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 351.

14 L232  MR INCREDIBLE  19/10/2026   116  MR INCREDIBLE (L232) bumped at the start. When questioned rider stated that his instructions were to settle the horse where comfortable and if possible obtain a position midfield with cover, particularly under its top weight of 135 lbs. He said in the early stages when positioned to the outside of a runner, his mount made contact with that runner when that runner shifted out slightly. He said when caught wide to the outside of that runner, he contemplated following another runner but when his mount was not travelling well enough to do so he elected to obtain a trailing position behind the former runner to save ground and allow the horse to travel where comfortable. He added after following that runner in the middle stages he improved to that runner’s outside on entering the Home Straight where his mount finished the race off well. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued - Race 116.
