Racing Incident Report

UNCLE STEVE began awkwardly and lost ground at the start.
ROMANTIC COMBO and PRECISE EXPRESS made contact on jumping.
For some distance approaching the 1200 Metres, CELESTIAL POWER got its head up when being steadied.
Approaching the 600 Metres, UNCLE STEVE proved difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of CELESTIAL POWER. In this incident, UNCLE STEVE shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of PERFECT TO GREAT which became unbalanced. Then at the entrance to the Straight, UNCLE STEVE was steadied away from the heels of KYRUS UNICORN which shifted out when awkwardly placed behind LUCKY MARYKNOLL. UNCLE STEVE was then unable to obtain clear running until approaching the 300 Metres.
KYRUS UNICORN was held up for clear running from on straightening until the 250 Metres.
SACRED IBIS had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight.
At the 250 Metres, TEMPEST EXPRESS was steadied away from the heels of ROMANTIC COMBO due to both horses shifting ground.
Apprentice C L Chau, the rider of the 5th placed, UNCLE STEVE, was reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out all the way to the finishing line.
Following the race, K Teetan stated that although forced to race wide and without cover throughout the event, TEMPEST EXPRESS was still disappointing in the manner in which it gave ground in the Straight. A veterinary inspection of TEMPEST EXPRESS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of PERFECT TO GREAT and BEAUTY DAY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
ROMANTIC COMBO, CELESTIAL POWER and KYRUS UNICORN were sent for sampling.
<20 December 2020 Sha Tin Racemeeting – Race 9 (284)> After reviewing the videos of this race, the Stewards felt it was appropriate to question H T Mo regarding his riding of SUPER ELEGANCE in the early part of the Straight. H T Mo stated that after settling at the rear of the field, he was obliged to commence riding the horse along with the whip after the 700 Metres in order for the horse to make up ground. He said SUPER ELEGANCE consequently commenced to travel better, however, at the 600 Metres he was obliged to shift out away from the heels of SACRED IBIS when that horse was checked. He said after being steadied away from the heels of SACRED IBIS, SUPER ELEGANCE dropped the bit and then was left flat-footed when the runners immediately in advance of his mount, namely SACRED IBIS and PRECISE EXPRESS, accelerated. He said whilst it was open to him to immediately shift wider on the track to provide SUPER ELEGANCE with unimpeded running, given the horse was some lengths off SACRED IBIS, he continued to ride his mount along before shifting to the outside of both SACRED IBIS and PRECISE EXPRESS near the 200 Metres with SUPER ELEGANCE then closing off the race well. Jockey Mo was advised the Stewards would report his explanation, however, they felt that after shifting out from behind SACRED IBIS and trailing PRECISE EXPRESS rounding the Home Turn, he should have continued to direct his mount to the outside of PRECISE EXPRESS to afford his mount unimpeded running at an earlier stage.
