No		 Colour Horse Dr. Jockey Incident
5 1 REFUSETOBEENGLISH (K362) 6 J Orman Jumped only fairly and shortly after the start was checked to avoid WELL ENOUGH. Near the 400 Metres was steadied to avoid JUMBO STEPS.
4 2 GLORIOUS JOURNEY (J137) 3 C Y Ho Shortly after the start was crowded by HAPPY PROMISE which shifted out despite the efforts of its rider.
8 3 VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (J079) 9 P N Wong (-7) Apprentice P N Wong pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference approaching the 1400 Metres (see MISSION GIANT). Apprentice Wong could offer no excuse for her mount’s disappointing performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
6 4 RAGGA BOMB (K162) 10 R Kingscote Near the 600 Metres was steadied when carried wider by HAPPY PROMISE (A Atzeni) which shifted out when not sufficiently clear. A Atzeni was severely reprimanded. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of R Kingscote, 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. Trainer D Eustace confirmed that from the outside barrier he had instructed R Kingscote to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages as it raced too keenly at its most recent start when it raced in a forward position.
3 5 WELL ENOUGH (L029) 5 M L Yeung Shortly after the start became badly unbalanced when bumped heavily by MISSION GIANT. When being shifted in leaving the 1600 Metres got its head up when being steadied to avoid GLORIOUS JOURNEY.
1 6 ACE (K307) 1 Z Purton Leaving the 1100 Metres was steadied when momentarily crowded by I AM BACK (E C W Wong) which shifted in before being corrected by its rider. E C W Wong was advised to exercise more care. Leaving the 500 Metres raced tight to the inside of I AM BACK which shifted in slightly when giving ground. Bumped near the 150 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race.
7 7 JUMBO STEPS (L269) 7 K C Leung Crowded approaching the 1400 Metres. E C W Wong (I AM BACK) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 1300 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in when not clear of JUMBO STEPS, resulting in JUMBO STEPS having to be checked. E C W Wong was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Wednesday, 28 October 2026 and to expire on Thursday, 5 November 2026 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays). In addition, Jockey Wong was fined $50,000. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his very poor race riding record. Approaching the 400 Metres raced tight between GLORIOUS JOURNEY and I AM BACK which was giving ground. Near the 400 Metres was checked to avoid MISSION GIANT which lost ground when being checked. K C Leung advised that from a wide barrier he was instructed to take up a forward position as connections were of the opinion there was a lack of pace engaged in the event. Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions issued. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
10 8 MISSION GIANT (K577) 4 M Chadwick Crowded shortly after the start. Apprentice P N Wong (VIVA GRACIOUSNESS) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching the 1400 Metres she allowed her mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of I AM BACK, resulting in I AM BACK being taken in onto JUMBO STEPS and forcing JUMBO STEPS across the running of MISSION GIANT which was checked. Apprentice Wong was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Sunday, 8 November 2026 and to expire on Thursday, 12 November 2026 on which day she may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered her good race riding record. When commencing to give ground near the 400 Metres was checked when crowded between GLORIOUS JOURNEY (C Y Ho) which shifted in slightly and ACE (Z Purton) which shifted to the outside of VIVA GRACIOUSNESS. Both Jockeys Ho and Purton were advised to exercise more care. In assessing the incident the Stewards found that the fact that MISSION GIANT was under pressure and giving ground at this point had contributed to the severity of the interference. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. Before being allowed to race again, MISSION GIANT will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
9 10 I AM BACK (L061) 8 E C W Wong (-3) Crowded approaching the 1400 Metres. E C W Wong pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference near the 1300 Metres (see JUMBO STEPS). Jockey Wong stated that from his wide barrier he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages. He said when his mount commenced well and raced keenly he was obliged to allow it to stride forward. He said I AM BACK continued to race keenly in the early and middle stages before giving ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of I AM BACK, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, I AM BACK will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
2 11 HAPPY PROMISE (L266) 2 A Atzeni Shifted out at the start and made contact with GLORIOUS JOURNEY. When placed under pressure in the Home Straight lay in and near the 150 Metres shifted in and made contact with ACE. Sent for sampling post-race.

3 2 CASA PRIMO (L201) 11 B Avdulla Jumped only fairly and from a wide barrier was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Near the 250 Metres was eased and shifted to the outside of VERBIER to continue into clear running. When questioned regarding his riding out of the horse B Avdulla sated that when placed under pressure in the early stages of the Home Straight his mount lay out. He said for this reason near the 100 Metres he changed his whip through to his left hand in order to correct his mount, however, CASA PRIMO then shifted in which resulted in his level of vigour decreasing for a short distance as he approached the finish of the event. He added when he was satisfied he was always holding third placing from GOLDEN FRIENDSHIP he continued to encourage his horse to the finish of the race without having to fully test it. B Avdulla was advised, wherever possible, he should ensure he places the appropriate amount of vigour to his mounts to ensure he does not compromise their placings in the race.
7 3 AUTUMN VIBES (K150) 1 L Ferraris Jumped awkwardly and made contact with the left side of the starting gate.

9 5 ALWAYS MY FOLKS (J345) 10 K C Leung Shortly after the start was eased to avoid VERBIER which shifted out slightly. K C Leung reported that he was instructed to take up a midfield position preferably with cover. He said when caught wide in the early stages he endeavoured to restrain his mount to obtain cover but ALWAYS MY FOLKS raced too keenly and as a consequence was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
1 6 VERBIER (J187) 9 J Orman Near the 150 Metres shifted in and made slight contact with FALCON HUNTER. J Orman stated that from a wide barrier he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages. Trainer C Fownes confirmed the instructions and stated he issued those instructions as VERBIER had not been finishing its races off when racing in a forward position and the horse had raced with success when being ridden more conservatively previously. Sent for sampling post-race.
11 7 ICONICAL (J504) 12 L Hewitson No report.
8 8 NOBLE FANS (K038) 3 A Atzeni Approaching the 200 Metres was steadied when disappointed for clear running between AUTUMN VIBES and ICONICAL, both of which shifted ground slightly. As a result NOBLE FANS was held up for clear running until near the 150 Metres.

No		 Colour Horse Dr. Jockey Incident
8 1 URANUS STAR (K511) 3 H Y Yuen (-7) When questioned Apprentice H Y Yuen stated that her instructions were to go forward and lead. She said although URANUS STAR commenced well she was obliged to make use of the horse in the early stages to cross LUCK IS BACK and LUCKY MY WAY. She said approaching the first turn she then attempted to restrain URANUS STAR after crossing to the rail, however, URANUS STAR commenced to race keenly. She said although she was aware that URANUS STAR was racing well inside standard time she was unable to set a slower pace due to the manner in which the horse was racing. She added after entering the Home Straight URANUS STAR gave ground due to racing too keenly. After considering her explanation the Stewards were satisfied that Apprentice Yuen was riding to instructions in the early stages and that URANUS STAR would not respond to her efforts to set a slower pace during the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
6 2 LUCKY MY WAY (K146) 1 L Hewitson No report.

10 7 RISING FROM EAST (L145) 4 R Kingscote Crowded at the start. Bumped near the 500 Metres. R Kingscote stated that his mount weakened noticeably in the Home Straight and would appreciate a surface with more give in it. The performance of RISING FROM EAST, which had finished tailed out on two previous occasions, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, RISING FROM EAST will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in two consecutive barrier trials and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
2 8 LUCK IS BACK (J398) 2 C Y Ho Jumped awkwardly. Sent for sampling post-race.

1 4 VIRTUS GLORY (L298) 11 H Y Yuen (-7) When questioned Apprentice H Y Yuen confirmed her instructions were to go forward and attempt to lead. She said although VIRTUS GLORY jumped well, when a number of runners to her inside showed better speed she did not continue forward to contest the lead. She said her decision to do so was also on the basis that she was of the opinion it was advantageous to position the horse with cover having regard to tonight’s track pattern. Trainer P F Yiu confirmed the instructions were to lead. Noted to be displaying mild signs of "thumps” after the race. Sent for sampling post-race.
11 5 HARVEST MOON (L419) 2 A Atzeni Shifted out abruptly on jumping and made heavy contact with SHOW ME YOUR LOVE. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

2 7 MASTER PHOENIX (J516) 10 L Ferraris Shifted in at the start and was bumped. The Stewards considered a protest/objection lodged by Mr D Eustace, trainer of the 3rd placegetter, MASTER PHOENIX, against FLYING TING LOK (Apprentice P N Wong) being declared the 2nd placegetter alleging interference on the Home Turn. After taking evidence from the parties concerned the Stewards found that FLYING TING LOK shifted out near the 350 Metres when not sufficiently clear of MASTER PHOENIX, resulting in MASTER PHOENIX being checked to avoid FLYING TING LOK, shifting out and losing ground. The Stewards were satisfied that had this incident not have occurred MASTER PHOENIX would have finished in advance of FLYING TING LOK. Therefore the protest/objection was sustained and the placings amended to read No. 4, VIRTUS GLORY, 1st; No. 7, MASTER PHOENIX, 2nd; No. 8, FLYING TING LOK, 3rd; and No. 2, MASTER RESOLUTE, 4th. At a subsequent inquiry Apprentice P N Wong pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 350 Metres she allowed her mount to shift out when insufficiently clear of MASTER PHOENIX, resulting in MASTER PHOENIX being taken out and having to be checked to avoid FLYING TING LOK. Apprentice Wong was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Sunday, 22 November 2026 and to expire on Thursday, 26 November 2026 on which day she may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered her good race riding record. Sent for sampling post-race.

Approaching the 200 Metres improved into a run between SHOW ME YOUR LOVE and HARVEST MOON (A Atzeni) which shifted in when racing greenly. As a result FREE PONY was then checked when crowded by HARVEST MOON. A Atzeni was reprimanded and advised he must make a greater effort to prevent his mounts from shifting ground.

11 8 PASS LINE (L384) 12 P N Wong (-7) From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
4 9 EMBRACES (J276) 2 C L Chau (-2) When questioned regarding his riding making the Home Turn and in the early stages of the Home Straight and as to whether there was an opportunity to follow POPE CODY, C L Chau stated that after being positioned to the outside of POPE CODY his intention was to follow I CAN and FORZA TORO into the event. He said when FORZA TORO did not improve as he had expected this resulted in EMBRACES being held up for clear running until near the 250 Metres. He added whilst an opportunity presented to follow POPE CODY his instructions were to come to the outside and this was the main reason why he did not elect to follow POPE CODY. Trainer W K Mo confirmed the instructions were to make a run to the outside in the Home Straight.
6 10 FORZA TORO (K355) 6 E C W Wong (-3) Jumped only fairly. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of E C W Wong, 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. Jockey Wong stated that his instructions were to hold a handy position with cover. He said his mount raced keenly throughout the event and as a result was left racing wide and without cover from the 750 Metres.
12 11 I CAN (H381) 4 C Y Ho C Y Ho reported that his mount failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight and raced in a disappointing manner. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
