11 1 RUN RUN SUNRISE (K552) 10 K C Leung M Chadwick (RUSSET GLOW) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that leaving the 200 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in when not clear of RUN RUN SUNRISE, resulting in RUN RUN SUNRISE being checked, shifting in and making contact with A TIME FOR US. M Chadwick was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Sunday, 12 July 2026 at Sha Tin. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his excellent race riding record.

8 2 ONESHOT (L105) 3 K Teetan Bumped near the 900 Metres. Approaching the 150 Metres HEALTHY HEALTHY improved into a narrow run between ONESHOT and RIDING HIGH. A short distance later RIDING HIGH, which was checked when disappointed for clear running to the inside of GROUPER, then shifted to the outside of GROUPER to obtain clear running, resulting in HEALTHY HEALTHY being taken out across the running of ONESHOT which was checked. In this incident PRIVATE WEALTH, which was improving to the outside of ONESHOT, shifted out and away from ONESHOT, resulting in A TIME FOR US having to be checked when crowded between PRIVATE WEALTH and RUN RUN SUNRISE which was checked when taken in by RUSSET GLOW L Hewitson, rider of RIDING HIGH, was reprimanded and advised in similar circumstances he would be expected to ride with greater care than he did on this occasion. However, the Stewards found that as there were numerous contributing factors that no rider had ridden in a manner that was considered to be in breach of the Rules. K Teetan reported that his mount raced too keenly in the early stages and although checked near the 150 Metres was under pressure when giving ground at that point.

4 7 LEAN ERA (L297) 12 C L Chau (-2) When questioned C L Chau stated that his instructions were to settle his mount where comfortable and not to make a long run around the field to ensure that LEAN ERA was able to finish the race off in the Home Straight. He said from the outside barrier his mount commenced awkwardly and as a result he elected to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages where LEAN ERA settled at the rear of the field. When questioned regarding his riding rounding the Home Turn and if there was an opportunity to follow RUSSET GLOW and improve to that runner’s outside on entering the Home Straight, Jockey Chau stated that whilst he considered this option, having regard to his instructions, he elected to improve to the inside of RUSSET GLOW with a view to following RUN RUN SUNRISE into the Home Straight. He said when RUN RUN SUNRISE did not improve as he expected and RUSSET GLOW maintained its position to the outside of RUN RUN SUNRISE, this resulted in LEAN ERA being held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and the 250 Metres where it was able to then secure clear running. He added that when placed under pressure from the 250 Metres LEAN ERA finished the race off strongly. Trainer D Eustace confirmed the instructions issued and expressed satisfaction with the manner that Jockey Chau rode the horse. After considering his explanation and the instructions from Mr Eustace, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Chau were reasonable in the circumstances.
