13 3 COMMANDING MISSILE (G210) C L Chau (-2) When questioned C L Chau stated that he was given the option to hold an on-pace position if his mount showed sufficient pace to do so. He said whilst his mount jumped reasonably well, when he rode it along from the starting gates it did not show any early pace and for this reason he elected to ride COMMANDING MISSILE in a conservative manner in the early stages to avoid covering additional ground. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of COMMANDING MISSILE, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, COMMANDING MISSILE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

6 1 TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122) P N Wong (-10) Near the 1400 Metres became unbalanced when it shifted in towards the running rail. When questioned Apprentice P N Wong stated that her instructions were to lead if circumstances permitted. She said TOURBILLON PRINCE jumped only fairly and she then rode it along to comply with her instructions. She said when positioned to the inside of DEFINITIVE in the early stages she was reluctant to continue to urge her mount forward as she was concerned that TOURBILLON PRINCE may commence to race keenly and for this reason she held her mount together and allowed DEFINITIVE to cross in the early stages. After considering her explanation and taking into account the sectional times of the race which showed the early and middle stages were run outside of standard time, Apprentice Wong was advised that, in the opinion of the Stewards, she had made an error of judgement in that she did not ride her mount in a more decisive manner to comply with her instructions to lead.
