He added whilst his preference was to improve to the inside of SWEET BRIAR near the 150 Metres, as TACTICAL COMMAND was laying out, he elected to allow it to continue to shift out to the outside of SWEET BRIAR rather than fight the horse which resulted in TACTICAL COMMAND not being able to be ridden out to the finish when positioned close to ACE POWER.

9 1 CELTIC TIMES (G230) 11 C Y Ho Near the 550 Metres was momentarily crowded by TO INFINITY which lay in.
7 2 THE AZURE (J227) 10 M Guyon When questioned M Guyon stated that his mount jumped only fairly and then shortly after was checked when crowded between CELTIC TIMES and CALIFORNIA BAY which shifted out and away from KA YING GLORY which resulted in his mount settling back in the field. He said making the Home Turn he was reluctant to make a wide run as he felt it would be difficult to make up ground due to the early and middle stages being run inside of standard time. He said as a result he elected to remain racing behind TO INFINITY and to shift to that runner’s inside where it obtained clear running approaching the 300 Metres. He added in the Home Straight THE AZURE lay in and near the 150 Metres became awkwardly placed close to GENERAL REDWOOD when that runner shifted out slightly. He said after improving to the outside of GENERAL REDWOOD leaving the 50 Metres he was obliged to steady and shift to the outside of CALIFORNIA BAY when that runner commenced to give ground. Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of M Guyon, 7th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse’s finishing position, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ensure that he fully rides his mounts out to the finish of the race.
12 3 TO INFINITY (G277) 12 D B McMonagle Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

L Ferraris was severely reprimanded. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
5 7 KA YING GLORY (K247) 8 L Ferraris When questioned L Ferraris stated that the instructions were to lead the event. He said after crossing to the front approaching the first turn he allowed KA YING GLORY to continue to stride along as he was concerned if he applied too much pressure to the horse it would hang out as it did at its last start. He said after passing the 1100 Metres he applied some pressure to the horse, however, it commenced to lay out and therefore he was reluctant to restrain the horse and allowed it to continue to stride along. He said although he was aware the pace he was setting was inside of standard time he felt it was in the best interests of the horse’s chances in the race not to restrain it to avoid it hanging out. Trainer D A Hayes confirmed the instructions were to lead and as the horse hung out at its previous race start to not overly restrain KA YING GLORY to allow it to settle comfortably. He said whilst he issued these instructions he was of the opinion that Jockey Ferraris could have made a greater effort to set a more sustainable pace during the middle stages of the event. After considering the evidence the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Ferraris were reasonable in the circumstances.
11 8 LUCK SMILES (K530) 7 J Orman Bumped on jumping. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
7 9 DUKE OF ORANGE (K540) 7 L Hewitson Jumped only fairly. L Hewitson stated that his mount, which was having its first race start at Happy Valley, raced greenly and making the turn near the 550 Metres hung out and was checked to avoid SAME TO YOU. When questioned L Hewitson stated that making the Home Turn he committed to following THUNDER PRINCE as he felt that horse would give him a good opportunity to improve into the race. He said as he committed to the outside of JUSTIFYING to follow THUNDER PRINCE, JUSTIFYING shifted out which presented a run to that horse’s inside. He said as he was to the outside of JUSTIFYING he elected to continue to follow THUNDER PRINCE but his mount had difficulty obtaining clear running between the 300 Metres and the 150 Metres when THUNDER PRINCE did not improve as he had expected it would.
