2 K562  FLOW WATER FLOW  04/01/2026   319  FLOW WATER FLOW (K562) when questioned regarding his riding rider stated that the intention was to hold a handy position behind the leaders from a favourable barrier and with the horse stepping up to 1400M. He said his mount jumped reasonably well but in the early stages was positioned to the inside of a runner which was being ridden hard to hold a more forward position. He said when the pace of the event was being run inside of standard time he would have had to make use of his mount in the early stages to hold a more forward position and as he was concerned this would result in his mount racing keenly, particularly having regard to its inexperience and having its first race start at Sha Tin, he elected to allow that runner to cross his mount near the 1100M. He said whilst he had not expected that would result in his mount settling at the rear of the field he felt this was the best option for the horse to allow it to race where comfortable and have a good opportunity to finish the race off in the Home Straight. He added throughout the middle stages his mount travelled well and after shifting to the outside upon entering the Home Straight the horse ran on well under riding. Trainer stated that whilst he had expected the horse to hold a more forward position, given the horse is lightly raced and does not have an established racing pattern he was comfortable with rider’s decision to allow the horse to settle towards the rear of the field. After considering his explanation and taking into account the sectional times of the event and the relative inexperience of the horse, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by rider were reasonable in the circumstances - Race 319.

9 K300  KYRUS TREASURE  01/01/2026   309  KYRUS TREASURE (K300) from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Between the 400M and the 250M was held up for clear running – Race 309.

1 K265  THE LION KING  01/01/2026   309  THE LION KING (K265) when question in relation to a runner obtaining a position with cover approaching the first turn and then the horse being able to improve three deep when that runner shifted out on the Home Turn, rider stated that approaching the first turn when following another runner he elected to allow his mount to shift to the rail when the aforementioned runner improved to his outside and applied some pressure to his mount. He said his decision to shift to the rail was also influenced by the fact that he was able to follow the leader and improve his position slightly as he did so and to provide his mount with an uninterrupted run. He added making the Home Turn he was able to shift out to obtain clear running as he felt that runner was not travelling well enough to hold its position at that stage - Race 309.
