Racing Incident Report

MR POTENTIAL, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT and PINGWU SPARK began only fairly.
DARING FIT began awkwardly.
MYTHICAL EMPEROR shifted in at the start, resulting in OUR FOLKS being inconvenienced.
From the outside barriers, ROYAL MOJITO and G-ONE LOVER were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
Near the 1050 Metres, BORNTOACHIEVE was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of HAPPY HAPPY STAR which was steadied to obtain a trailing position behind PINGWU SPARK.
When being steadied to obtain cover approaching and passing the 1000 Metre, G-ONE LOVER got its head up on a number of occasions.
An inquiry into the reason for OUR FOLKS being hampered near the 850 Metres was adjourned until a date to be fixed as H W Lai, the rider of G-ONE LOVER, was transported to hospital due to a subsequent incident.
K Teetan (OUR FOLKS) was charged with breaching Rule 100(1)] of careless riding in that near the 650 Metres he failed to take sufficient measures to prevent his mount from shifting in which resulted in ROYAL MOJITO being checked when crowded inside OUR FOLKS. K Teetan pleaded not guilty to the charge. After considering further submissions from Jockey Teetan, the Stewards formed the view that he should be afforded the benefit of the doubt in respect of OUR FOLKS being steadied away from the heels of G-ONE LOVER at the relevant time and therefore the charge of careless riding issued against Jockey Teetan was not sustained. However, K Teetan was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he makes sufficient endeavours to prevent his mounts from shifting ground and causing interference.
After the 600 Metres, RADIANT TREASURE got its head on the side and lay out towards the heels of PINGWU SPARK, resulting in RADIANT TREASURE being awkwardly placed inside that horse.
An inquiry into the reason for H W Lai being dislodged from G-ONE LOVER near the 550 Metres was adjourned until a date to be fixed due to H W Lai being transported to hospital. When H W Lai was dislodged as a result of G-ONE LOVER blundering, OUR FOLKS, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT and ROYAL MOJITO were all severely checked. After this, ROYAL MOJITO was eased down. A veterinary inspection of ROYAL MOJITO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Having regard to ROYAL MOJITO’s beaten margin, the Stewards ruled that the horse must trial competitively and be subjected to an official veterinary examination prior to being permitted to race again. After the race, APOLLO’S CHOICE was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said the horse had sustained a small wound above the inside of the left hock. A veterinary inspection of G-ONE LOVER immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained small wounds inside the right front cannon and the right hock. Before being allowed to race again, G-ONE LOVER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
PINGWU SPARK and MYTHICAL EMPEROR were sent for sampling.
<18/10/2017 Adjourned Inquiries – 10 September 2017 Sha Tin Racemeeting – Race 9 (27)>
The Stewards tonight concluded two inquiries which were adjourned from the Sha Tin racemeeting on 10 September 2017. These inquiries were adjourned due to H W Lai, the rider of G-ONE LOVER, being unavailable as a consequence of injuries sustained when dislodged from that horse near the 550 Metres. In respect of this incident, the Stewards found that for some distance passing the 600 Metres G-ONE LOVER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of APOLLO’S CHOICE when travelling strongly. As H W Lai commenced to shift G-ONE LOVER to the outside of APOLLO’S CHOICE, that horse was simultaneously shifted to the outside of the heels of BORNTOACHIEVE. G-ONE LOVER then clipped the heels of APOLLO’S CHOICE and blundered badly, resulting in H W Lai being dislodged. As it was established that G-ONE LOVER had not improved to be racing outside of the heels of APOLLO’S CHOICE as that horse shifted to the outside of BORNTOACHIEVE, the Stewards were satisfied that there was no carelessness attached to this incident and accordingly no further action was deemed necessary. However, H W Lai was told to ensure that, wherever possible, he avoids racing too close to the heels of runners in front. At a further inquiry, H W Lai (G-ONE LOVER) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that passing the 900 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of OUR FOLKS, causing that horse to be unnecessarily crowded for room and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled. In the unique circumstances of this case, the Stewards, having regard to the fact that Jockey Lai has not ridden since this racemeeting and is not likely to resume race riding in the immediate future, considered it appropriate for him to be severely reprimanded rather than any period of suspension or monetary penalty being imposed.
