4 4 MY WISH (J256) When questioned H Bowman stated that he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages to ensure that it ran out a strong 2000 Metres. He added whilst he had expected to settle back in the field he had not anticipated the race being run inside of standard time in the early and middle stages. He said near the 500 Metres he commenced to shift to the outside of WINNING WING, however, when that runner shifted out at the same point he then elected to save ground and improve to the inside of WINNING WING near the 450 Metres whereby MY WISH responded well to his riding. He said after making good ground between the 400 Metres and the 150 Metres the horse’s run ended which he attributed to the early and middle stages of the race being run inside of standard time. Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions and stated he issued those instructions to allow the horse to run out a strong 2000 Metres.
5 2 VOYAGE BUBBLE (E436) Was examined by the Veterinary Officer after arriving at the Start at the request of Jockey Z Purton and passed suitable to race. When questioned Z Purton stated that the horse travelled satisfactorily during the race and he was comfortable with the early and middle stages being run inside of standard time as the horse had performed well when it won over 2400 Metres previously on a strong pace. He added VOYAGE BUBBLE came under pressure prior to entering the Home Straight and did not respond to his riding and was disappointing. He said after the event the horse appeared to pull up satisfactorily. Assistant Trainer H F Yiu representing Trainer P F Yiu stated that the horse had pleased the stable coming into today’s race and he could offer no explanation for its performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
6 3 BEAUTY JOY (E058) When questioned B Avdulla stated that from barrier 2 and when the connections were of the opinion there was not strong pace in the event he was given the option to lead if BEAUTY JOY jumped well. He said as a result when his mount commenced well he elected to allow the horse to stride forward and lead the event. He added that BEAUTY JOY raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages and as a result ran inside of standard time despite his efforts to set a more sustainable pace. He said due to the manner the horse raced throughout the early and middle stages it did not respond to his riding in the Home Straight. Trainer A S Cruz confirmed that he had given B Avdulla the option to go forward. He said he issued those instructions as BEAUTY JOY has been finishing its races off only fairly due to racing keenly in the early stages when settling back in the field.
