Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 1 ROMANTIC WARRIOR (E486) J McDonald was found guilty of a careless riding charge for causing interference near the 200 Metres (see DEEP MONSTER). Sent for sampling post-race.
2 5 NUMBERS (L080) K C Leung stated that the instructions were to endeavour to find cover behind the expected leader ROMANTIC THOR. Trainer F C Lor confirmed the instructions and stated that he issued those instructions to attempt to have the horse run out a strong 2400 Metres. He added NUMBERS raced too keenly and as a result was unable to obtain cover. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 2 DEEP MONSTER (L925) Throughout the early and middle stages raced keenly. The Stewards deferred the declaration of weighed-in as they were of the opinion that an incident occurred for some distance approaching the 200 Metres which cast doubt on whether ROMANTIC WARRIOR (J McDonald) should be declared the winner due to interference suffered by DEEP MONSTER. When Jockey Moreira and the connections of DEEP MONSTER did not lodge a protest/objection and the Stewards were satisfied, having regard to the 2 lengths margin between ROMANTIC WARRIOR and DEEP MONSTER, that there were not sufficient grounds to do so, weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. At a subsequent inquiry, J McDonald was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 300 Metres he directed his mount in when not clear of DEEP MONSTER, resulting in DEEP MONSTER being taken from its rightful running, further resulting in DEEP MONSTER being checked to avoid NUMBERS near the 200 Metres, causing DEEP MONSTER to shift out and make heavy contact with ROMANTIC WARRIOR. J McDonald was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Wednesday, 3 June 2026 and to expire on Thursday, 11 June 2026 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays). In addition, Jockey McDonald was fined $120,000. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 3 and the consequences grade 2.
4 9 ROMANTIC THOR (K012) No report.
5 7 WINNING WING (K129) No report.
6 4 ROUSHAM PARK (J814) Jumped only fairly.
7 6 KA YING GENERATION (J075) From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
8 8 GENTLEMEN LEGACY (K385) No report.
9 3 CAP FERRAT (K021) C Williams stated that his mount did not run out a strong 2400 Metres and after the event was feeling the effects of a hard run. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
