12 9 HAPPY HERO (G322) A Badel When questioned regarding his riding along the Back Straight and the reason he shifted away from the rail, A Badel stated that after riding his mount along in the early stages he was unable to hold a more forward position. He said when the early stages of the event was run inside of standard time he was reluctant to remain racing on the rail as he felt the leaders may give ground and for this reason he elected to shift out and race three wide following HAKKA RADIANCE. He added that this move was also influenced by the fact that HAPPY HERO has performed well when making an early move from the back of the field. He further stated that from the 800 Metres he shifted to the outside of HAKKA RADIANCE where his mount commenced to improve into the event behind DEVILDOM, but in the Home Straight HAPPY HERO did not respond to his riding. After considering his explanation, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Badel were reasonable in the circumstances. Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued and expressed satisfaction with the manner in which Jockey Badel rode the horse.

10 14 SOARING BRONCO (J162) M F Poon After the event, M F Poon stated that after going forward and racing outside of CHATER GOLD he had expected that runner to continue to improve to the lead.
