Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 5 THE AUSPICIOUS (K004) Bumped near the 100 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race.
2 9 AUDACIOUS PURSUIT (K398) Shifted in shortly after the start and was bumped. Near the 100 Metres lay out and made contact with THE AUSPICIOUS. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 8 GLORIASTAR (K439) Near the 550 Metres was steadied when crowded between FLYING KNIGHT and TURF PHOENIX which shifted out and away from GALLANT EPOCH when it came under pressure.
4 7 CHINA WIN (K395) Jumped awkwardly. Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded between INNO SUPER and AUDACIOUS PURSUIT, both of which shifted ground. Near the 1100 Metres shifted out when being steadied to avoid THE LION KING. Near the 500 Metres got its head up when being steadied away from BEAUTY MISSILE. In the Home Straight lay out, raced greenly and proved difficult to ride. Near the 150 Metres CHINA WIN became held up behind INNO SUPER and shifted out when being steadied to avoid INNO SUPER.
5 6 HAPPY UNIVERSE (J533) Raced wide and without cover from the 800 Metres. Bumped near the 750 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, HAPPY UNIVERSE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
6 10 INNO SUPER (K319) On jumping was bumped by TURF PHOENIX which shifted out. Z Purton reported that he was asked to ride the horse slightly more forward than its previous race starts. He said when caught wide in the early stages he elected to ride his mount forward to avoid covering additional ground. He added once INNO SUPER obtained a position in the lead it lacked concentration and did not fully stretch out when racing in this position. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race.
7 3 BEAUTY VIVA (K155) Slow to begin. Despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position.
8 14 BEAUTY MISSILE (H123) A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
9 4 FIGHTING MACHINE (J015) Jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
10 11 GALLANT EPOCH (J451) No report.
11 1 FLYING KNIGHT (K370) In the middle stages raced keenly and near the 1100 Metres got its head up when being steadied away from GLORIASTAR.
12 2 THE LION KING (K265) Held up between the 500 Metres and the 350 Metres.
13 13 TURF PHOENIX (J294) Shifted out at the start and was bumped. After being crossed by INNO SUPER leaving the 800 Metres attempted to obtain a position to that runner’s outside but was prevented from doing so when HAPPY UNIVERSE improved quickly to its outside. As a result TURF PHOENIX and HAPPY UNIVERSE made contact near the 750 Metres.
14 12 GOR GOR (K104) M L Yeung advised that he was instructed to ride the horse in a forward position. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse’s trachea. The performance of GOR GOR, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, GOR GOR will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
WV VOLCANIC SPARK (H388) Withdrawn on 8.11.25 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left hind) and replaced by Standby Declared Starter GALLANT EPOCH. Before being allowed to race again, VOLCANIC SPARK will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
