3	2		HAPPY UNIVERSE (J533)	7	K C Leung	After passing the 150 Metres was bumped by SUPREME AGILITY after that horse was taken out by FIREFOOT.
6	3		ANOTHER WORLD (K005)	11	C Y Ho	No report.
10	4		VIVACIOUS WIN (K223)	4	Z Purton	Z Purton could offer no explanation for his mount’s performance today. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race.
1	5		SUPREME AGILITY (J267)	8	J Orman	The Stewards deferred the declaration of weighed-in as they were of the opinion that an incident had occurred near the 150 Metres which cast doubt on whether FIREFOOT should be declared the winner. Subsequently J Orman, rider of the second placegetter, SUPREME AGILITY, lodged a protest/objection against FIREFOOT being declared the winner alleging interference near the 150 Metres. K C Leung, rider of the third placegetter, HAPPY UNIVERSE, and Trainer K H Ting were requested to attend the hearing and on reviewing the video footage also lodged a protest/objection on behalf of the connections against FIREFOOT being declared the winner alleging interference inside the final 150 Metres. On the evidence it was established that SUPREME AGILITY was crowded for room between HAPPY UNIVERSE and FIREFOOT near the 150 Metres and as a result raced in restricted room for some distance, making contact with HAPPY UNIVERSE which was racing to its outside. The Stewards were of the opinion that had the interference not occurred SUPREME AGILITY would have finished in front of FIREFOOT bearing in mind the nose margin and the degree of interference suffered. Accordingly, the protest/objection was sustained and the placings amended to read No. 5, SUPREME AGILITY, 1st; No. 8, FIREFOOT, 2nd; No. 2, HAPPY UNIVERSE, 3rd; and No. 12, BULL ATTITUDE, 4th. In respect to the protest/objection on behalf of the third placegetter, HAPPY UNIVERSE, the Stewards could not be comfortably satisfied that the degree of interference suffered to HAPPY UNIVERSE as a result of a shift from FIREFOOT and in turn SUPREME AGILITY was sufficient to justify an alteration to the placings bearing in mind the margin between FIREFOOT and HAPPY UNIVERSE at the finish. Therefore that protest/objection was overruled. At a subsequent inquiry K Teetan, rider of FIREFOOT, was severely reprimanded for failing to make sufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting out when it had a tendency to do so. Sent for sampling post-race.

6	5		FLOW WATER FLOW (K562)	7	Z Purton	Z Purton was of the opinion that due to the slow tempo of the race in the middle stages, particularly between the 1200 Metres and the 800 Metres having been run outside of standard time, it was not suitable to his mount’s chances today. Trainer J Size also expressed a similar view that FLOW WATER FLOW was not suited in a race with no pace in the middle section, resulting in the race being a sprint home. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race.

3	1		DRAGON AIR FORCE (J279)	7	M Chadwick	K Teetan (THRIVING BROTHERS) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 1500 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of DRAGON AIR FORCE, resulting in DRAGON AIR FORCE having to be checked. K Teetan was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at Happy Valley. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his very good race riding record. After passing the 400 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running until near the 200 Metres. Near the 150 Metres was steadied to avoid the heels of NEZHA when racing in restricted room between NEZHA and QUANTUM LEGEND.
10	2		CORLEONE (J426)	11	L Ferraris	A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
11	4		THRIVING BROTHERS (J396)	9	K Teetan	K Teetan was found guilty of a careless riding charge for causing interference near the 1500 Metres (see DRAGON AIR FORCE).

8	7		KEEFY (G306)	3	H Y Yuen (-7)	When questioned regarding the tactics adopted today, particularly the middle stages of the race, Apprentice H Y Yuen explained that her instructions were to be positive in the early stages and had achieved a position in the lead and on the fence when negotiating the first turn near the 1500 Metres. She added from that point she was endeavouring to steady her mount to hold the lead, however, at this point STORMI had improved to her outside and as a result KEEFY continued to over-race after being placed under pressure early and for this reason in the Back Straight she was unable to restrain KEEFY any slower. 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, KEEFY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

8	4		CELESTIAL HERO (K363)	5	Z Purton	On jumping got unbalanced when crowded for room between LUCKY CANDY and MICKLEY after both horses shifted ground. When questioned Z Purton explained that after his mount lost ground at the start CELESTIAL HERO was out paced in the early stages as it does not possess the necessary speed to stay in touch with the field over the 1000 Metre distance of today’s race, and endeavouring to ride his mount with any more vigour than he did CELESTIAL HERO would have failed to finish the race off. He added that he elected in the circumstances to ensure his mount was balanced up and given the opportunity to finish the race off. He said when his mount was making good ground inside the 200 Metres he was held up for clear running over the concluding stages and subsequently was unable to ride his mount out to the end of the race.

12	13		LUCKY CANDY (L041)	6	K Teetan	Shifted in at the start and made contact with CELESTIAL HERO and as a result got unbalanced and shifted back out, making contact with INVINCIBLE STEED. Near the 850 Metres was checked to avoid the heels of LAHORE which shifted out when being taken out slightly by ALPHA STRIKE (J Orman). J Orman was reprimanded for permitting his mount to shift out when not fully clear. However, in arriving at this decision the Stewards took into account the racing manners of LAHORE in this incident. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

4	1		HELENE SUPAFEELING (L028)	4	C L Chau (-2)	On jumping was bumped by GRAND EAGLE which shifted out at the start. On straightening was held up for clear running and was checked and shifted in near the 300 Metres to avoid the heels of GOLD PATCH to obtain clear running.
2	2		SOLID STATE (L411)	7	Z Purton	Near the 800 Metres was steadied when crowded momentarily by GOLD PATCH which shifted in before being straightened by its rider. Near the 400 Metres got unbalanced when racing in restricted room between PACKING GLORY and GOLD PATCH which shifted out slightly. Sent for sampling post-race.
3	3		LUCY IN THE SKY (J275)	12	P N Wong (-7)	No report.
10	4		GOLD PATCH (L099)	9	C Y Ho	Was checked near the 350 Metres after being bumped by CITY GOLD BANNER which shifted out. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
1	5		BUNTA BABY (J465)	2	L Ferraris	L Ferraris was severely reprimanded for permitting his mount to shift out near the 350 Metres where there was insufficient room to improve between LUCY IN THE SKY and SHANGHAI WARRIOR. As a result of this shift SHANGHAI WARRIOR shifted out, resulting in interference caused to a number of runners, the main sufferers being CITY GOLD BANNER, GOLD PATCH and GRAND EAGLE, all having to be checked. In arriving at this decision the Stewards could not be satisfied that CITY GOLD BANNER had established a clear run to the outside of SHANGHAI WARRIOR and for that reason no direct action was taken. Sent for sampling post-race.
