Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 5 RAGGA BOMB (K162) Sent for sampling post-race.
2 10 TAKE ACTION (J098) Jumped awkwardly. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 11 ACE WAR (J509) Sent for sampling post-race.
4 4 CALIFORNIA BAY (K364) Shifted out shortly after the start and bumped THE AZURE.
5 7 KA YING GLORY (K247) When questioned L Ferraris stated that the instructions were to lead the event. He said after crossing to the front approaching the first turn he allowed KA YING GLORY to continue to stride along as he was concerned if he applied too much pressure to the horse it would hang out as it did at its last start. He said after passing the 1100 Metres he applied some pressure to the horse, however, it commenced to lay out and therefore he was reluctant to restrain the horse and allowed it to continue to stride along. He said although he was aware the pace he was setting was inside of standard time he felt it was in the best interests of the horse’s chances in the race not to restrain it to avoid it hanging out. Trainer D A Hayes confirmed the instructions were to lead and as the horse hung out at its previous race start to not overly restrain KA YING GLORY to allow it to settle comfortably. He said whilst he issued these instructions he was of the opinion that Jockey Ferraris could have made a greater effort to set a more sustainable pace during the middle stages of the event. After considering the evidence the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Ferraris were reasonable in the circumstances.
6 9 MATSU VICTOR (H472) No report.
7 2 THE AZURE (J227) When questioned M Guyon stated that his mount jumped only fairly and then shortly after was checked when crowded between CELTIC TIMES and CALIFORNIA BAY which shifted out and away from KA YING GLORY which resulted in his mount settling back in the field. He said making the Home Turn he was reluctant to make a wide run as he felt it would be difficult to make up ground due to the early and middle stages being run inside of standard time. He said as a result he elected to remain racing behind TO INFINITY and to shift to that runner’s inside where it obtained clear running approaching the 300 Metres. He added in the Home Straight THE AZURE lay in and near the 150 Metres became awkwardly placed close to GENERAL REDWOOD when that runner shifted out slightly. He said after improving to the outside of GENERAL REDWOOD leaving the 50 Metres he was obliged to steady and shift to the outside of CALIFORNIA BAY when that runner commenced to give ground. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of M Guyon, 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 6 GENERAL REDWOOD (L102) Bumped shortly after the start. Near the 1400 Metres was steadied when crowded by KA YING GLORY (L Ferraris) which shifted in when not clear. L Ferraris was severely reprimanded. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
9 1 CELTIC TIMES (G230) Near the 550 Metres was momentarily crowded by TO INFINITY which lay in.
10 12 SETANTA (G095) Jumped only fairly and then bumped with GENERAL REDWOOD. A Atzeni stated that his mount was obliged to race tight to the inside of TAKE ACTION making the Home Turn and in the Home Straight did not finish the race off when placed under pressure. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
11 8 LUCK SMILES (K530) Bumped on jumping. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
12 3 TO INFINITY (G277) Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
