When questioned Z Purton stated that after holding a position behind midfield he had some difficulty obtaining clear running between the 500 Metres and the 300 Metres when being shifted to the outside of YEE CHEONG GLORY. He said after obtaining clear running to the outside of YEE CHEONG GLORY near the 250 Metres SPARKLING FELLOW commenced to respond well to his hands and heels riding and when he was satisfied the horse was at its top being ridden in this manner, he continued to ride the horse hands and heels to the winning post, particularly when racing tight to the outside of the winner GOLD PATCH. Sent for sampling post-race.
11 3 TOP THRONE (K116) 2 L Ferraris Jumped only fairly. Near the 300 Metres made contact with BULLISH PRIDE due to both runners shifting ground.

1 2 WINNING WING (K129) 1 H T Mo (-2) Lay in near the 200 Metres when it made contact with PRESTIGE GOOD. Protest/objection (see PRESTIGE GOOD). When questioned regarding the horse racing in a more forward position H T Mo stated that from the inside barrier he was instructed to endeavour to hold a more forward position than its recent starts. He said after making use of his mount from the start WINNING WING showed more pace in the early stages than it had at its previous race starts which resulted in it holding a more forward position. Sent for sampling post-race.
8 3 LA CITY BLANCHE (G371) 10 H Bowman A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
4 4 KARMA (G392) 6 C Y Ho Bumped at the start. Making the Home Turn ran wide when being shifted to the outside of KA YING GENERATION to improve.

9 6 NOISY BOY (J536) 7 C L Chau (-2) C L Chau stated that he was instructed to hold a handy position. He said in the early stages when positioned to the outside of EXCELLENCE VALUE he had expected that horse to shift to the rail to follow the leader PRESTIGE GOOD. He said when EXCELLENCE VALUE remained racing one-off his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. He added that with the pace of the event in the middle stages being run inside of standard time he was unable to make a forward move to avoid covering additional ground. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
5 7 BRAVEHEARTS (H389) 3 A Atzeni Jumped only fairly. Shortly after the start was eased when racing tight to the inside of GENTLEMAN LEGACY which was taken in by EXCELLENCE VALUE.
2 8 PRESTIGE GOOD (K131) 2 R Kingscote The Stewards deferred the declaration of weighed-in when they observed an incident had occurred near the 200 Metres which cast doubt on whether WINNING WING (H T Mo) should be declared the winner of the race. Subsequently R Kingscote, rider of PRESTIGE GOOD, second placegetter, lodged a protest/objection against WINNING WING being declared the winner alleging interference near the 200 Metres. After considering the evidence the Stewards found that PRESTIGE GOOD became unbalanced when crowded by WINNING WING near the 200 Metres but having regard to the manner in which both horses finished the race off and where the incident occurred, they could not be comfortably satisfied that had the interference not occurred PRESTIGE GOOD would have finished in advance of WINNING WING and therefore the protest/objection was overruled and weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. H T Mo was reprimanded and advised that he must stop riding and straighten his mounts when they shift ground. Sent for sampling post-race.
6 9 LE ZONDA (L110) 9 K Teetan Trainer P C Ng confirmed that from a wide barrier he had instructed for the horse to be ridden in a conservative manner in the early stages.
