Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 DH 1 GLORIOUS RYDER (K290) Shifted in over the concluding stages and made contact with DRAGON SUNRISE, resulting in its rider L Ferraris having to stop riding with the whip approaching the winning post. L Ferraris pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference over the concluding stages (see TELECOM POWER). Sent for sampling post-race.
1 DH 7 SOARING BRONCO (J162) Near the 350 Metres made contact with WAH MAY WAI WAI and was steadied when disappointed for clear running between WAH MAY WAI WAI and TELECOM POWER. SOARING BRONCO then had difficulty obtaining clear running until near the 200 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 10 DRAGON SUNRISE (J269) Hampered shortly after the start. Held up for clear running making the Home Turn. Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration if there were sufficient grounds for a protest/objection against GLORIOUS RYDER being declared dead heat first placegetter due to DRAGON SUNRISE being crowded over the concluding stages by GLORIOUS RYDER which shifted in. When the Stewards were satisfied there were not sufficient grounds to do so and no protest/objection was lodged by connections, weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. Sent for sampling post-race.
4 12 PERFECTO MOMENTS (J003) Over the concluding stages was crowded for room and could not be ridden out to the finish of the race.
5 3 TELECOM POWER (J332) Blundered shortly after the start. Approaching the 1000 Metres made contact with WAH MAY WAI WAI due to both runners shifting ground. L Ferraris (GLORIOUS RYDER) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that over the concluding stages he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of DRAGON SUNRISE, resulting in DRAGON SUNRISE being taken in onto PERFECTO MOMENTS, resulting in DRAGON SUNRISE and PERFECTO MOMENTS being crowded for room and also resulting in PERFECTO MOMENTS being taken in across the running of TELECOM POWER which was checked. L Ferraris was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 8 April 2026 at Happy Valley. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his excellent race riding record. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
6 11 HARRY'S HERO (H332) PERFECTO MOMENTS shifted out on jumping, resulting in HARRY’S HERO being taken out onto DRAGON SUNRISE.
7 6 CARRYON SMILING (J392) Shifted out on jumping and bumped TOP TO SKY.
8 9 SMART TRIO (J538) No report.
9 8 WAH MAY WAI WAI (J193) Jumped awkwardly. Approaching the 1000 Metres made contact with TELECOM POWER due to both runners shifting ground. B Avdulla reported that his mount came under pressure from the 800 Metres and failed to finish the race off thereafter. B Avdulla was questioned in relation to his left leg extending away from his body when SOARING BRONCO endeavoured to improve between WAH MAY WAI WAI and TELECOM POWER approaching the 300 Metres. B Avdulla stated that as he was concerned SOARING BRONCO would continue to shift in he braced himself as he was concerned there would be heavy contact between those two runners. He said this resulted in his left leg extending out to ensure he maintained his balance. After considering his explanation the Stewards found that B Avdulla had not intentionally extended his left leg in an attempt to make contact with SOARING BRONCO and accepted his explanation. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
10 5 TOP TO SKY (K339) Approaching the 200 Metres was hampered when unable to proceed into clear running between STERLING WONGCHOY and GLORIOUS RYDER, both of which shifted ground.
11 2 LUCKY BLESSING (K073) M F Poon stated that he had to make use of his mount in the early stages to go forward, particularly when caught wide in the early stages. He said as a result LUCKY BLESSING was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse’s trachea.
UR 4 STERLING WONGCHOY (H273) Approaching the finish STERLING WONGCHOY sustained an injury to the left front leg and was immediately treated by Veterinarians. After it was determined that the injury was too severe to be saved, STERLING WONGCHOY was euthanised. D B McMonagle was examined by the Chief Medical Officer and passed fit to fulfil his subsequent riding engagement. Samples were taken from the horse.
