3 H073  SATIRICAL GLORY  04/07/2024   798  SATIRICAL GLORY (H073) after the race, rider reported that his mount raced too keenly in the lead and as a consequence ran inside the standard time throughout the early and middle stages despite his efforts to restrain his mount. He added as a result his mount was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 798.
4 H435  DEVAS TWELVE  10/04/2024   573  DEVAS TWELVE (H435) after the race, rider stated that his mount raced “flat” in the event, similarly to the manner in which it had raced at its most recent start on 16 March 2024. Trainer agreed with rider and stated that he would provide the horse with a let-up at his Conghua stables. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 573.

10 H273  STERLING WONGCHOY  08/09/2024   5  STERLING WONGCHOY (H273) from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Held up for clear running near the 400M. When questioned regarding the tactics adopted on the Home Turn and the reason he improved to the inside of a runner, rider stated that whilst his mount was travelling reasonably well at that point, he elected to improve to the inside of that runner to save ground on the Home Turn and also to provide his mount with some confidence improving between runners. He said his decision to shift in was also influenced by the fact that that would have allowed him to follow another runner into the event, a horse he had considered to be a fancied runner. The Stewards considered the tactics adopted by rider in the circumstances were reasonable - Race 005.
11 J059  MISTER FOX  14/07/2024   826  MISTER FOX (J059) was withdrawn two days before raceday by order of the Stewards on vet advice (head injury). Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 826.
