Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 8 STRAIGHT TO GLORY (K340) Sent for sampling post-race.
2 6 HONEST WITNESS (K283) Shifted in at the start and was bumped. L Ferraris stated that from a wide barrier he was instructed to go forward on his mount. He said when HONEST WITNESS showed good pace in the early stages he was able to cross to the front and lead. Trainer D A Hayes confirmed the instructions issued. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 5 VOYAGE BOSS (K321) Bumped on jumping. Sent for sampling post-race.
4 1 SUPERB KING (K479) No report.
5 2 FLYING WROTE (J290) C L Chau was found guilty of a careless riding charge for causing interference shortly after the start (see TACTICAL COMMAND). When questioned C L Chau stated that the instructions were to attempt to hold an on-pace position. He said in the early stages FLYING WROTE did not show sufficient pace to do so and raced in a similar manner to when it barrier trialed on 29 December 2025 when it settled back in the field. He said as a consequence FLYING WROTE settled in a midfield position behind FORTUNE WARRIOR and after improving to that runner’s outside approaching the 400 Metres his mount finished the race off well when under pressure in the Home Straight.
6 4 VICTOR THE RAPID (J393) A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
7 9 PERIDOT (K148) Jumped only fairly. Raced keenly in the middle stages and after the 800 Metres was steadied to avoid FLYING WROTE. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of B Avdulla, 7th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse’s finishing position, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ensure that he fully rides his mounts out to the finish of the race.
8 3 TACTICAL COMMAND (H197) C L Chau (FLYING WROTE) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that shortly after the start he allowed his mount to shift in when not clear of SMART FIGHTER, resulting in SMART FIGHTER being crowded in onto TACTICAL COMMAND which was checked when it lost its rightful running between SMART FIGHTER and STRAIGHT TO GLORY. C L Chau was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 28 January 2026 at Happy Valley. In addition, Jockey Chau was fined $45,000. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 1 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his neutral race riding record.
9 7 SMART FIGHTER (H278) Jumped only fairly and shortly after the start became unbalanced when crowded between TACTICAL COMMAND and FLYING WROTE.
10 12 FORTUNE WARRIOR (H229) No report.
11 10 LEGENDARY IMPACT (K035) Jumped only fairly and then was crowded between VOYAGE BOSS and HONEST WITNESS, both of which shifted ground.
12 11 COUNTRY DANCER (H436) From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
