Racing Incident Report

After travelling a short distance, HELENA BABY was crowded for room between FAT TURTLE which was racing tight inside HONG KONG BET which got its head on the side and lay in away from SPEEDY KING and WALDORF which was taken out by GENTLE BREEZE.
From the outside barrier, TORNADO TWIST was shifted across behind runners shortly after the start to obtain cover.
After initially being steadied in the early stages from a wide barrier, COUNTRY STAR was left racing wide and after the 800 Metres improved its position to be closer to the lead, however, was left racing wide and without cover from the 600 Metres.
Making the turn after the 600 Metres, HONG KONG BET and COUNTRY STAR bumped.
TORNADO TWIST was unable to obtain clear running over the final 50 Metres and consequently was not able to be tested.
M F Poon (GUNNISON) was warned against the practice of hitting his mounts down the shoulder with the whip. He was told that as the Stewards had previously spoken to him about this matter, it may be that further disciplinary action would be taken if he offends again in the future.
When questioned regarding the performance of AMAZING STAR, Z Purton stated that after riding the horse in a gallop on Monday, 17 February 2020, he was dislodged from AMAZING STAR which resulted in it doing more work than had been intended. He said he rode the horse in a subsequent piece of work on Saturday, 22 February 2020 and he was satisfied with the standard of this work. He said after being loaded into the barriers AMAZING STAR became fractious and lunged at the front gates, resulting in the gates opening and AMAZING STAR travelling a short distance before being able to be restrained. He said after being returned to the barriers, he consulted with the Veterinary Officer and he was satisfied for the horse to start. The Veterinary Officer informed the Stewards that in his opinion AMAZING STAR was suitable to race. He said after being reloaded into the barriers AMAZING STAR began only fairly, shifted out and bumped COUNTRY STAR. He said because of the manner in which AMAZING STAR began, he had to ride his mount along in the early stages to take up a forward position and it was not until near the 1000 Metres that he was able to clear runners to his inside and obtain the lead. He said after the 1000 Metres he commenced to steady the tempo on AMAZING STAR as he had done more work in the early stages than he had hoped. He said after steadying his mount, GUNNISON improved around AMAZING STAR near the 700 Metres and AMAZING STAR soon after came off the bridle. He said he then rode AMAZING STAR along shortly after entering the Straight, however, AMAZING STAR did not quicken as it had for him previously and then did not finish off the race. He added whilst AMAZING STAR was disappointing, he believed there were a number of circumstances both prior to and during the race which provided valid excuses for the horse’s failure to finish off the race. A veterinary inspection of AMAZING STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of AMAZING STAR, favourite for tonight’s race and which had won its previous three starts, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, AMAZING STAR will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
AMAZING STAR, WALDORF and FAT TURTLE were sent for sampling.
