Racing Incident Report

PEARL OF INDIA was withdrawn on 8.2.07 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (colic). Before being allowed to race again, PEARL OF INDIA will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. DOUBLE FANTASY was slow to begin, then lost further ground when crowded for room between UNIVERSAL PIONEER and WINE WIN, both of which shifted ground. In the early stages, DOUBLE FANTASY proved difficult to settle and near the 1000 Metres was checked away from the heels of MEDIC LEGION. Over the concluding stages, MEDIC LEGION hung out. Because of this, G Mossé, its rider, changed the whip into his left hand. In the Straight, DEERFIELD hung out. Throughout the race, SILVER WRAITH travelled wide and without cover. W M Lai said he had been instructed to ride KINGSTON WINNER from a wide barrier in about midfield position if possible. He said it was explained previously when racing over the course and distance KINGSTON WINNER if ridden in a forward position had failed to finish the race off. He said because of this after jumping well he steadied KINGSTON WINNER and commenced to shift across behind runners to ensure he had a position with cover. He said if left racing without cover, KINGSTON WINNER would over-race. He said due to the way the race was run in the early stages he had to go further back than instructed to obtain a suitable position. He said near the 1000 Metres KINGSTON WINNER did commence to over-race and proved difficult for him to settle and in the Straight the horse only closed the race off in his opinion fairly. After passing the winning post, E Saint-Martin was dislodged from HONEST TREASURE. After being dislodged, E Saint-Martin was struck by FIRST KNIGHT which was following. As E Saint-Martin was indisposed and not able to weigh in, the Stewards acting under the provisions of Rule 112(5) declared weighed-in on the numbers as semaphored by the Judge as they were satisfied that E Saint-Martin had weighed out to ride HONEST TREASURE at not less than the proper weight and there were no circumstances to suggest that HONEST TREASURE had carried less than the proper weight throughout the race. E Saint-Martin explained approaching the winning post HONEST TREASURE was inclined to shift out, because of this changed the whip into his left hand. He said HONEST TREASURE continued to shift out and as it was involved in a tight finish, he transferred his weight to the right stirrup in an endeavour to prevent the horse from shifting further. He said passing the winning post in his opinion the saddle on HONEST TREASURE might have shifted slightly to the right, as a consequence he became unbalanced and was dislodged. E Saint-Martin was severely reprimanded for the manner in which he addressed the medical staff when being attended to following this incident. TREMENDOUS PLUS and FEEL-SO-GOOD were sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of TREMENDOUS PLUS and FEEL-SO-GOOD after the race did not show any significant findings. HONEST TREASURE and MEDIC LEGION were sent for sampling.
