Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Jolly Jolly was nicely rated after scrambling to the front 1,100m out from gate eight, was briefly headed by rank outsider Go Go Win at the 350m, regained the lead 150m out and kept on gamely for a third win from seven outings this term. Go Go Win went forward off a feather weight from a wide gate to sit outside the leader, poked his head in front 350m out and found one too smart in the end. Winnam was ridden quietly at the rear, switched into the open with one wider out and closed willingly to grab a placing 80m out. Lucky Scepter was held up four deep upon straightening following a one-off run behind midfield until the 200m and finished nicely thereafter to inject further value into the Quartet. Super Fluke settled three deep with cover in midfield from a wide gate, straightened five deep, had to steady off heels at the 300m and kept on all right with clear running over the final 200m.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eleven: (463)-COLOANE HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

Shortly after the start, TRIUMPHANT DRAGON raced tight between CLASSIC EMPEROR and HARD BALL GET, both of which shifted ground.

After this, TRIUMPHANT DRAGON was shifted in towards the rail, however, despite being ridden along, failed to muster speed.

From a wide barrier, CHATER LEGEND was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Near the 1000 Metres, WAH MAY FRIEND was steadied away from the heels of GO GO WIN (Apprentice K K Chiong) which shifted in when not properly clear.

Apprentice Chiong was severely reprimanded and advised to ensure that she provides the required clearance before shifting ground in similar circumstances.

After the 1000 Metres, HARD BALL GET was left racing wide and without cover.

Near the 700 Metres, SUPER FLUKE shifted out and bumped WAH MAY FRIEND.

After this, WAH MAY FRIEND was left racing wide and without cover.

Near the 550 Metres, TRIUMPHANT DRAGON was shifted out after being checked away from the heels of JAEGER BOMB and bumped WINNAM.

G Mosse (WAH MAY FRIEND) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching the 300 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of SUPER FLUKE, causing that horse to be checked and in turn taken in onto HARD BALL GET which was racing tight to the outside of CLASSIC EMPEROR.

This resulted in HARD BALL GET being severely checked when crowded for room between CLASSIC EMPEROR and SUPER FLUKE, blundering and falling.

When HARD BALL GET fell, LUCKY SCEPTER, which was following, was hampered in consequence.

G Mosse was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 28 April 2016 on which day he may resume race riding (7 Hong Kong racedays).

The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Sunday, 3 April 2016.

In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the number of occasions that Jockey Mosse has been found guilty of a charge of careless riding this season and also the consequential effects of his riding in this incident.

After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that HARD BALL GET was lame in its left front leg.

Before being allowed to race again, HARD BALL GET will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Approaching the 50 Metres, LUCKY SCEPTER raced tight inside SUPER FLUKE.

This resulted in E da Silva having to stop riding and straighten SUPER FLUKE.

Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of E da Silva, 5th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse's finishing position, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out at least hands and heels all the way to the end of the race where circumstances permit.

JOLLY JOLLY and GO GO WIN were sent for sampling.
