Racing Incident Report

JETSO DELIGHT was withdrawn on 28.11.14 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (bled after track work) and was replaced by first Standby Declared Starter GLORY HORSIE (A Suborics). MASSIVE MOVE was withdrawn on 29.11.14 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by second Standby Declared Starter MELLIFLUENT (D Whyte). SOLAR SPIRIT was also withdrawn on 29.11.14 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (left hip injury - lame left hind). Before being allowed to race again, MASSIVE MOVE and SOLAR SPIRIT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
The start was delayed when DIAMOND MASTER arrived at the Start having lost its right front plate and required replating.
A FAST ONE shifted out at the start, resulting in KIM GLORY being taken out onto COUNTRY MELODY which was bumped and lost ground when crowded for room inside HAYHAY.
MELLIFLUENT was slow to begin and then despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to muster speed.
SIR JOHN began awkwardly and lost ground. After this, despite being ridden along, SIR JOHN failed to muster speed.
DIAMOND MASTER began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped FAY DEEP.
Passing the 800 Metres, A FAST ONE was steadied away from the heels of EXCITABLE BOY.
K C Leung (FAY DEEP) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 700 Metres he permitted his mount to shift out when not clear of MELLIFLUENT, causing that horse to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled. K C Leung was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday, 15 December 2014 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Sunday, 7 December 2014. In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey Leung’s good race riding record during the most recent 2013/2014 and current racing seasons.
Near the 400 Metres, BRILLANTE lay in under pressure.
Passing the 400 Metres, ELITE SPIRIT was awkwardly placed close to the heels of KIM GLORY.
Passing the 300 Metres, HAYHAY raced in restricted room between EXCITABLE BOY and DIAMOND MASTER which lay in under pressure.
Near the 250 Metres, A FAST ONE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of GLORY HORSIE which was giving ground.
FAY DEEP was unable to obtain clear running over the final 200 Metres and consequently was not able to be properly tested.
When questioned, M Chadwick stated that PLANET CHOICE travelled well in the early stages although the horse did want to lay in away from the outside rail at about the 700 Metres. He said after this PLANET CHOICE regained its balance and continued to travel strongly, however, approaching the 500 Metres the horse appeared to become uncoordinated in its action, lost balance and shifted out towards the outside running rail, resulting in it losing a considerable amount of ground and momentum. He said he did not feel any other horse had a bearing on the horse’s racing manners at this time and that PLANET CHOICE had become badly unbalanced of its own doing. He also stated as he felt that no other horse had galloped on PLANET CHOICE at this time, he was initially concerned that the horse may have broken down and it took a number of strides for him to ascertain whether it was still sound. He said after the 400 Metres he commenced to push the horse along, however, as PLANET CHOICE was not striding out well, he did not continue to ride it vigorously for the remainder of the race given what had occurred approaching the 500 Metres. After viewing all the available videos, the Stewards were satisfied that no other horse had any bearing on PLANET CHOICE becoming unbalanced at this time. A veterinary inspection of PLANET CHOICE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Before being allowed to race again, PLANET CHOICE will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. In this incident, FAY DEEP was severely checked away from the heels of PLANET CHOICE and MELLIFLUENT, which was following FAY DEEP, was also inconvenienced as a consequence.
A veterinary inspection of BRILLANTE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
PLANET CHOICE, COUNTRY MELODY and HAYHAY were sent for sampling.
<1/12/2014 Additional Veterinary Report>PLANET CHOICE, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. PLANET CHOICE was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A S Cruz this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its left front leg. As previously advised, PLANET CHOICE will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination before being allowed to race again.
