| 1 | G223 | ARIEL | 01/10/2024 | 74 | ARIEL (G223) after the event, rider stated that the intention was to hold a forward position. He said from his wide barrier and when his mount did not show sufficient pace, his mount settled further back in the field than anticipated - Race 074. |
| 2 | J272 | YUEN LONG ELITE | 01/10/2024 | 69 | YUEN LONG ELITE (J272) passing the 400M was held up for clear running and when being shifted out to obtain clear running made contact with a runner. When questioned, rider stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position, but his mount failed to show sufficient pace to do so. He added near the 1200M he was steadied away from a runner which resulted in his mount settling further back in the field than what had been intended - Race 069. |
| 3 | H161 | ENDEARED | 13/10/2024 | 97 | ENDEARED (H161) near the 500M was bumped and taken wider. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 097. |
| 4 | H073 | SATIRICAL GLORY | 13/10/2024 | 98 | SATIRICAL GLORY (H073) after the event, rider stated that he was obliged to make use of his mount in the early stages to cross to the lead and that resulted in his mount not finishing the race off in the Home Straight.

| 9 | H472 | MATSU VICTOR | 25/09/2024 | 52 | MATSU VICTOR (H472) near the 250M was bumped and became unbalanced. When questioned, rider stated that from the inside barrier his intention was to hold a more forward position to take advantage of the gate. He said whilst his mount travelled comfortably throughout the event, it failed to respond strongly to his riding in the Home Straight. He added, in his opinion, his mount may be better suited by being ridden in a more conservative manner in the early stages to allow it to finish the race off. Trainer agreed with the assessment of rider that the horse may not have appreciated being ridden in a more forward position. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 052. |
