Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 1 ROMANTIC WARRIOR (E486) Shifted out shortly after the start and was bumped. Sent for sampling post-race.
2 2 BELLAGIO OPERA (L907) K Yokoyama pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference near the 450 Metres (see QUISISANA). Sent for sampling post-race.
3 7 QUISISANA (L910) Bumped shortly after the start. K Yokoyama (BELLAGIO OPERA) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 450 Metres he directed his mount out when not clear of QUISISANA, resulting in QUISISANA being badly crowded for room and losing its rightful running. K Yokoyama was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Thursday, 1 January 2026 and to expire on Monday, 5 January 2026 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). In addition, Jockey Yokoyama was fined $100,000. In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into account the consequences of the incident and Jockey Yokoyama’s good record. When questioned C Soumillon stated that his mount enjoyed a good run in the event behind the favourite ROMANTIC WARRIOR. He said as QUISISANA only has a short sprint, when ROUSHAM PARK improved quickly to his outside near the 600 Metres he was reluctant to make a forward move at that point. He added after continuing to follow ROMANTIC WARRIOR into the race his mount then near the 450 Metres was badly crowded for room when BELLAGIO OPERA shifted out and as a consequence lost momentum. After considering his explanation the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Soumillon were reasonable in the circumstances.
4 4 GALEN (L909) No report.
5 3 ROUSHAM PARK (J814) Shortly after the start raced in restricted room between QUISISANA and ROMANTIC WARRIOR which shifted out slightly.
6 6 CHANCHENG GLORY (H212) A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
7 5 STRAIGHT ARRON (G435) C Williams reported that his mount raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages and near the 700 Metres became unbalanced when being checked to avoid BELLAGIO OPERA. He added in the Home Straight STRAIGHT ARRON was unable to finish the race off. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
