Racing Incident Report
Race Four: (40) - HKU FACULTIES OF DENTISTRY AND SOCIAL SCIENCES HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters
EL VALIENTE was withdrawn on 21.9.23 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (right front tendon injury).
Before being allowed to race again, EL VALIENTE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
SPECIAL HEDGE jumped only fairly and then was bumped by BEAR SLAM which shifted out.
RIGHTEOUS DOCTRINE and DARCI LEGEND bumped at the start.
DARCI LEGEND then raced keenly in the early stages.
From the 1000 Metres, BOOM ALLIANCE raced wide and without cover.
RELIABLE PROFIT raced keenly in the middle stages.
Approaching the 400 Metres, DARCI LEGEND was steadied when crowded by SPECIAL HEDGE (C L Chau) which shifted out and away from RIGHTEOUS DOCTRINE after being taken out by that horse.
C L Chau was advised to exercise more care.
The performances of SPECIAL HEDGE and GOLD STERLING, both of which finished tailed out, were considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, SPECIAL HEDGE and GOLD STERLING will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of SPECIAL HEDGE and GOLD STERLING immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
After the race, Z Purton (BILLIONAIRE SECRET) reported that from the outside barrier he was requested to ride his mount conservatively in the early stages.
He said after obtaining a position on the rail approaching the first turn, his mount travelled comfortably in the middle stages.
He added that from the 600 Metres he was held up behind RIGHTEOUS DOCTRINE and for this reason could not obtain clear running until near the 400 Metres.
He further stated that he had been asked to take inside runs to save ground, therefore he elected to improve to the inside rather than looking to obtain clear running out wide.
Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions issued.
A veterinary inspection of BILLIONAIRE SECRET immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of FAST BUCK immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
BILLIONAIRE SECRET, BEAR SLAM and MISSION BRAVO were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Bear Slam came with a sterling move down the outside to win going away. It was his fourth local victory and third over 1,650m on Sha Tin's all-weather track. He trialled well and came to the races with solid first-up form. Mission Bravo found one too good after dictating the pace from gate one and turning the final bend three lengths on top. It was a good run following his switch from Jimmy Ting to Mark Newnham. Boom Alliance ran on nicely from wide and worse than midfield to fill a placing. He is not easy to get right, but his lone placing last season occurred on the dirt. Reliable Profit whacked on one-paced after his handy run to fill the frame. He remains a work in progress but relished returning to the surface on which he finished fourth in June. Righteous Doctrine ran on steadily down the outside to finish the next best. He rarely produces a bad run on the dirt. Fast Buck came up one-paced after sitting on the leader's back. He needs an easier contest. Favourite Billionaire Secret ran on without threatening the placegetters from towards the rear. He requires a faster pace and usually takes a few runs to find his form.
