9 6 JUBILANT STAR (K410) 12 Z Purton When questioned regarding his riding Z Purton stated that he had expected to settle back in the field from the outside barrier and had been instructed to endeavour to take runs to the inside as connections felt that it had been advantageous to race in this position having regard to the racing pattern today. He said as a consequence after settling back in the field he elected to remain racing behind GORGEOUS VICTORY and SUPREME VOYAGER rather than shifting out on the Home Turn to start a forward move. He said after improving to the inside of CHATER FLASH near the 400 Metres he endeavoured to secure clear running between CHATER FLASH and SMILING CHAMPION. He added that as he commenced to improve between those two runners CHATER FLASH shifted in slightly and SMILING CHAMPION lay out which resulted in the run becoming too tight to improve into and as a consequence JUBILANT STAR was held up for clear running between the 300 Metres and the 150 Metres where he then shifted to the outside of CHATER FLASH to obtain clear running. Trainer D J Hall confirmed the instructions and stated he issued those instructions as he was of the opinion that it would be advantageous to improve close to the rail. Noted to have lost its left hind plate after the race.

In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his very good race riding record.

A short distance later SELF IMPROVEMENT shifted out whilst giving ground, resulting in GORGEOUS WIN having to be steadied and shifted to the inside of SELF IMPROVEMENT to obtain clear running.
12 4 SELF IMPROVEMENT (H337) 2 P N Wong (-7) Shifted out at the start and was bumped. A Atzeni (CRIMSON FLASH) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that between the 1000 Metres the 800 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in, resulting in SELF IMPROVEMENT being unnecessarily crowded for room between that section of the race and then also contributed to SELF IMPROVEMENT having to be restrained when it lost its rightful running between CRIMSON FLASH and PAKISTAN LEGACY which hung out. A Atzeni was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 29 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.

11 12 PAKISTAN LEGACY (J363) 1 K Teetan K Teetan reported that his mount hung out throughout the event and near the 700 Metres was steadied to avoid CRIMSON FLASH. He added that in the Home Straight PAKISTAN LEGACY did not respond to his riding. Trainer W Y So stated that he had been pleased with the horse leading into the race. He said the horse had not previously demonstrated a tendency of hanging out and he attributed this to the fact that it was racing tight to the inside of SELF IMPROVEMENT and CRIMSON FLASH throughout the middle stages. He added that the horse is better suited when it is able to dictate in the lead. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of PAKISTAN LEGACY was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, PAKISTAN LEGACY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
