Racing Incident Report

JAZZ STEED began only fairly.
WHAT A LEGEND began awkwardly and was bumped on jumping by BEAUTY AMIGO which shifted out.
From the outside barriers, YOUNG PASSION and ALCARI were shifted across behind runners in the early stages to obtain cover.
HERCULES was also steadied and shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Near the 1050 Metres, STARZ HERO was steadied away from the heels of SHOUSON (M F Poon) which shifted in when not properly clear. M F Poon was severely reprimanded and advised to ensure that he provides sufficient clearance when shifting ground in similar circumstances.
Passing the 900 Metres, PIANO SOLO got its head up and became unbalanced of its own accord when racing inside STARZ HERO which shifted in away from the heels of SHOUSON.
SCORES OF FUN travelled wide and without cover until after the 700 Metres at which stage WHAT A LEGEND was left racing wide and without cover.
When being shifted to the outside of YOUNG PASSION, HERCULES was momentarily awkwardly placed behind that horse passing the 400 Metres.
Passing the 200 Metres, ALCARI was shifted to the inside of ARES to obtain clear running. Then near the 150 Metres, ALCARI momentarily raced tight inside the heels of ARES.
SCORES OF FUN and SHOUSON were sent for sampling.
<21/2/2021 17 February 2021 Happy Valley Racemeeting – Race 8 (439)>After reviewing the videos, the Stewards believed that it was appropriate to question A Badel regarding his riding of HERCULES, particularly in the middle stages. A Badel stated that he had not been under any specific instructions on how HERCULES should be ridden other than to have the horse racing where it was comfortable to ensure that it was able to finish off the race well. He said, from barrier 8, he shifted HERCULES across behind runners in the early stages and making the turn after the 1000 Metres was racing behind JAZZ STEED. He said approaching the 900 Metres ALCARI, which was to his inside, shifted out away from the rail which resulted in HERCULES racing in a three wide position. He said at this stage YOUNG PASSION was looking to shift in from outside HERCULES to a position in front of his mount and behind JAZZ STEED. He said at this stage YOUNG PASSION had established a margin over HERCULES and he believed he would have had to ride his mount along for HERCULES to remain racing behind JAZZ STEED and to prevent YOUNG PASSION from shifting in. He said as he was reluctant to ride his mount along after the 900 Metres, he made the decision to allow YOUNG PASSION to shift in. He added after the 600 Metres he was following ALCARI which he considered to be a horse that might be able to take him into the race, however, he felt that there would be more opportunity for HERCULES to obtain clear running if brought to the outside of runners and therefore he directed his mount to the outside of YOUNG PASSION after the 400 Metres and into clear running. He said he immediately commenced to ride HERCULES along and the horse responded very well and therefore he did not believe that it was necessary in the early part of the Straight to use the whip on the horse given that HERCULES had quickened strongly at this stage. He said he continued to ride HERCULES out throughout the Straight and the horse finished off the race strongly. A Badel was advised that his explanation would be reported, however, he must ensure that, wherever possible, he maintains advantageous positions and rides his mounts competitively so that they do not get out of their ground unnecessarily.
