13 1 IRON LEGION (J459) 12 M Chadwick After being placed in the starting gates reared and got its right front leg over the starting gate for a short period. IRON LEGION was removed from the barriers, examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to start. After again being placed in the starting gates reared and then as a consequence was slow to begin. The barrier manners of IRON LEGION were considered unacceptable. The Stewards ruled that IRON LEGION will be required to attend barrier practice to the satisfaction of the Starter prior to performing satisfactorily in a barrier trial before being allowed to race again. Held up for clear running making the Home Turn. M Chadwick stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position but after being slow to begin he was unable to do so. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
14 2 FURY AND GOLD (H202) 13 H Bentley From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Bumped near the 900 Metres. H Bentley stated that after the horse made a wide run from the 800 Metres he became concerned with its action in the Home Straight and as a result he did not fully ride it out to the finish of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Before being allowed to race again, FURY AND GOLD will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
10 3 ON THE LASH (J182) 1 L Ferraris L Ferraris stated that from barrier 1 his mount jumped awkwardly, shifted out and made contact with LEATHER MASTER and as a consequence was unable to lead.

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

5 3 SEA CHARIOT (K358) 12 M Guyon Noted to have blood in the mouth on arrival at the Start. Was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to start. Jumped only fairly. When questioned M Guyon stated that after settling back in the field he placed his mount under pressure near the 500 Metres to improve. He said as he did so SEA CHARIOT commenced to hang in and when EVERYONE’S GALLOP, which was racing in advance of him, shifted out this resulted in SEA CHARIOT improving to the inside of the heels of that runner. He said as a consequence and due to the racing manners of his horse he elected to shift to the inside of I EXCELLE to obtain clear running and then was held up for clear running between the 300 Metres and the 200 Metres behind YOUNG LEGACY before finishing the race off well thereafter. The Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Guyon were reasonable in the circumstances.

He said approaching the first turn near the 900 Metres, after being crossed by YOUNG LEGACY, I EXCELLE commenced to race keenly and when being steadied away from YOUNG LEGACY did not respond to his efforts to restrain and as a result he was obliged to check his mount to avoid YOUNG LEGACY which resulted in I EXCELLE becoming unbalanced and losing ground.

M Chadwick stated that after obtaining a position outside the leader in the early stages RUBY SAILING did not respond to his riding in the Home Straight and may have been disadvantaged by the middle stages being run inside of standard time. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported.
14 12 PATCH OF TIME (H483) 14 L Hewitson Bumped on the hindquarters on jumping. L Hewitson stated that his instructions were to go forward. He said although PATCH OF TIME commenced well, after travelling a short distance his mount did not show sufficient pace to cross runners to his inside and as a result he elected to obtain a trailing position. He added after being placed under pressure making the Home Turn PATCH OF TIME did not respond to his riding in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its right hind leg. The performance of PATCH OF TIME, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, PATCH OF TIME will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
12 13 BOWSER (H460) 9 A Badel A Badel stated that his mount did not show sufficient pace to cross runners to his inside which resulted in it being obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event before giving ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, BOWSER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

In the middle stages raced keenly. K Teetan (THE UNIQUE STAR) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 250 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in when not clear of E HO HO, resulting in E HO HO being tightened for room, losing its rightful running and having to be checked. K Teetan was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 28 January 2026 at Happy Valley.

9 2 NEW FUTURE FOLKS (J418) 9 D B McMonagle A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported.
1 3 AKASHVANI (K234) 8 B Avdulla B Avdulla advised that the instructions were to go forward but not necessarily lead. He said when AKASHVANI showed good pace in the early stages it was able to lead without having to be pressured to do so. Sent for sampling post-race.
6 4 RIDING TOGETHER (K081) 2 L Hewitson L Hewitson stated that the intention was to hold an on-pace position with cover. He said in the early stages he allowed TIN FOOK to cross his mount which resulted in RIDING TOGETHER settling slightly further back than intended when a number of runners continued forward wider on the track. He added in the Home Straight RIDING TOGETHER finished the race off one-paced and he was of the opinion the horse would be suited with the reapplication of visors or blinkers and to be ridden with more urgency in the early stages to hold a more forward position.

3 6 DO YOUR PART (J444) 7 L Ferraris Raced wide and without cover from the 800 Metres.

4 11 ARMOR GOLDEN EAGLE (K566) 14 A Atzeni From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
12 12 TIN FOOK (K167) 5 Z Purton Z Purton stated that the horse made an abnormal respiratory noise during the running of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea.

11 6 KING LOTUS (K186) 14 L Hewitson When questioned L Hewitson stated that the instructions from the outside barrier were to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages. He said those instructions were issued as connections felt the horse had lacked concentration after improving to the front in the early stages of the Home Straight at its previous race starts. He said as a consequence from the outside barrier he settled back in the field. When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight and the reasons he remained racing on the rail where he had shifted away from the rail in the earlier races, L Hewitson stated that part of the instructions were to save ground making the Home Turn and to shift to the outside in the Home Straight. He added after improving to the inside of SHAMZ near the 400 Metres he then was unable to shift out when he had LOCH TAY positioned to his outside and as a result he elected to continue forward to the inside of LUCKY CANDY. He said when KING LOTUS did not improve sufficiently to clear LUCKY CANDY, he was obliged to remain racing on the rail for the remainder of the event. Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions and the reasons why those instructions were issued. He added whilst his preference was for KING LOTUS to make a run in the Home Straight away from the rail he was advised by Jockey Hewitson there was no option to comply with that part of the instructions. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
