Racing Incident Report

After arriving at the Start, W C Marwing (LONDON EXPRESS) expressed concern over the action of the horse during the preliminary. LONDON EXPRESS was examined by the Veterinary Officer who after consulting W C Marwing said in his opinion the horse was suitable to race. SOMETHING SPECIAL was slow to begin. SPECIAL DRAGON sat back as the gates opened and was slow to begin. On jumping, MAVERICK blundered. HOLIDAY SUN was slow into stride and throughout the race travelled wide and without cover. Near the 1400 Metres, BERIO, which was proving difficult to settle, got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of SAFETY FIRST. After the 1400 Metres, FOREST FOUNTAIN was bumped by SOMETHING SPECIAL which shifted out when proving difficult to settle and was steadied away from the heels of SIR GALAHAD which itself steadied at this time. No action was taken. Near the 900 Metres, INDUSTRIAL EXPRESS became unbalanced and lost ground when crowded for room between STOLEN THUNDER and DUMBARTON ROCK which when being steadied away from the heels of BERIO shifted out slightly. No action was taken. After the 500 Metres, when endeavouring to improve into a run between BERIO and DUMBARTON ROCK where there was insufficient room, SIR GALAHAD struck the heels of BERIO and fell, dislodging Apprentice K C Leung, its rider. SOMETHING SPECIAL and FOREST FOUNTAIN, which were following, were checked severely in consequence. Apprentice Leung was severely reprimanded and told he must ensure there is sufficient room before attempting to take runs between horses. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied his riding over the concluding stages did not affect MAVERICK’s finishing position, J Victoire will be reminded of his responsibility to ride his mounts out at least hands and heels right to the end of the race where possible. Z Purton (DUMBARTON ROCK) said it had been intended to ride the horse in 4th or 5th position. He said DUMBARTON ROCK began well and travelled into a forward position. He said near the 1600 Metres he saw SPIRIT OF LO PAN being ridden forward to cross to the lead and he was concerned if he followed that runner he would be pocketed and have difficulty obtaining clear running. He said because of this he elected to steady DUMBARTON ROCK from a position inside MAVERICK, shift out and follow BERIO in the run as he felt that horse would carry him forward. He said as a consequence DUMBARTON ROCK raced slightly further back than intended. Following the race, W C Marwing reported throughout the race LONDON EXPRESS did not stride out properly and when the horse was well beaten, he did not persevere in riding it out. LONDON EXPRESS was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of LONDON EXPRESS after the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of LONDON EXPRESS, a last start winner, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, LONDON EXPRESS will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. SOMETHING SPECIAL was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of SOMETHING SPECIAL after the race did not show any significant findings. SPECIAL DRAGON and BERIO were sent for sampling.
