After the race, Y L Chung reported that after holding a forward position, his mount was unsuited when the pace of the event eased in the middle stages. He said as a result his mount was unable to quicken when placed under pressure from the 600 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

10 9 FASTPASS (H040) K C Leung Raced wide and without cover from the 1000 Metres. When questioned regarding his riding in the early stages, K C Leung stated that after obtaining a position on the rail in the early stages, he then elected to shift his mount out one-off near the 1600 Metres in order to follow NINJA DERBY. He said he made such move to avoid FASTPASS being caught on the rail in what he thought might be a slowly run event. He said after obtaining a position behind NINJA DERBY approaching the 1500 Metres, FASTPASS commenced to race keenly and as a result shifted out and away from NINJA DERBY into a three wide position. He added shortly after when NINJA DERBY remained one-off, this allowed COLOURFUL BARON to improve to his inside and resulted in FASTPASS being obliged to race three wide thereafter.

No		 Colour Horse Jockey Incident
12 1 CORDYCEPS ONE (E107) E C W Wong (-7) When questioned regarding his riding, Apprentice E C W Wong stated that his instructions were to go forward and either race in or outside the lead. He said in the early stages CORDYCEPS ONE failed to show sufficient pace to comply with his instructions and he was obliged to obtain a trailing position three wide behind FOREVER GLORIOUS.

After considering Apprentice Wong’s explanation and having regard to the pace of the event being run inside of standard time throughout the early stages, Apprentice Wong was advised that he had made an error of judgement in riding his mount forward from the 1000 Metres and he would have been better suited by maintaining his position to the outside of FOREVER GLORIOUS.
