Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 2 LITTLE PARADISE (K246) Held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and the 200 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race.
2 6 INFINITE RESOLVE (K369) Briefly held up for clear running near the 300 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 4 BEAUTY BOLT (K491) Bumped shortly after the start. J McDonald pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference near the 150 Metres (see PUBLIC ATTENTION).
4 1 SAGACIOUS LIFE (K507) Shifted in shortly after the start and was bumped. Making the turn approaching the 800 Metres lay in, resulting in its rider Z Purton having to correct his mount. Lay in in the Home Straight.
5 11 TOP DRAGON (J481) Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. Crowded near the 150 Metres. Prior to declaring weighed-in Jockey M Guyon and Trainer W Y So viewed the patrol films to ascertain if there were grounds for a protest/objection against BEAUTY BOLT due to interference near the 150 Metres. When they declined to lodge a protest/objection and the Stewards were satisfied that there were not sufficient grounds to do so having regard to the margin of three quarters of a length between the two horses at the finish of the race weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge.
6 3 INVINCIBLE IBIS (K296) After travelling a short distance was eased when racing tight to the inside of BEAUTY BOLT which shifted in slightly. On a number of occasions near the 400 Metres was bumped by PATCH OF COSMO and as a result became unbalanced. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of H Bowman, 6th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse’s finishing position, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ensure that he fully rides his mounts out to the finish of the race. Sent for sampling post-race.
7 12 CIRCUIT GRAND SLAM (K201) No report.
8 10 AKASHVANI (K234) Jumped only fairly. Passing the 50 Metres L Ferraris dropped his left rein for a number of strides.
9 7 PATCH OF COSMO (J357) Jumped only fairly. Between the 450 Metres and the 350 Metres was held up for clear running when unable to improve into a tight run between WINDLORD and INVINCIBLE IBIS. In this incident PATCH OF COSMO made contact with INVINCIBLE IBIS on a number of occasions. Near the 200 Metres was steadied when crowded between INVINCIBLE IBIS and CRIMSON FLASH which was taken out by LITTLE PARADISE (C Y Ho) which shifted out. C Y Ho was reprimanded.
10 8 PUBLIC ATTENTION (L035) J McDonald (BEAUTY BOLT) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 150 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in when not clear of TOP DRAGON, resulting in TOP DRAGON being crowded onto PUBLIC ATTENTION, resulting in PUBLIC ATTENTION losing its rightful running and being checked. J McDonald was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Sunday, 8 February 2026 at Sha Tin. In addition, Jockey McDonald was fined $60,000. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his excellent race riding record. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
11 5 CRIMSON FLASH (K173) Bumped on jumping.
12 14 WINDLORD (L184) Jumped only fairly and shortly after shifted in and bumped SAGACIOUS LIFE. Near the 200 Metres was eased to avoid INVINCIBLE IBIS which shifted in. Raced very wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
13 9 WINFIELD (K446) Shifted in on jumping and bumped CRIMSON FLASH.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
14 13 SHANWAH (L123) Approaching the 1400 Metres got its head up and became unbalanced when being steadied. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
