Racing Incident Report
Race Seven: (221) - ALBATROSS HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
PRIDE OF DRAGON shifted out at the start and bumped HAPPY GATHERING.
I BELIEVE IN MAGIC began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of DASSIT, resulting in DASSIT becoming unbalanced and I BELIEVE IN MAGIC losing ground.
POISED TO STRIKE and ILLUSTRIOUS bumped on jumping.
From the outside barrier, LUCKY ARCHANGEL was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Approaching the 1000 Metres, WIN CHARM was eased away from the heels of ILLUSTRIOUS.
I BELIEVE IN MAGIC, which was following, was inconvenienced in consequence.
Near the 900 Metres, I BELIEVE IN MAGIC, which was racing greenly, shifted in away from ILLUSTRIOUS, resulting in DAILY BEAUTY momentarily racing tight inside I BELIEVE IN MAGIC.
Passing the 800 Metres, ILLUSTRIOUS shifted in away from DASSIT and became unbalanced when racing in restricted room between that horse and I BELIEVE IN MAGIC which shifted out.
Passing the 700 Metres, SINGAPORE SPIRIT shifted out away from the heels of COLONEL when awkwardly placed behind that horse.
Making the turn after the 600 Metres, SINGAPORE SPIRIT again shifted out away from the heels of COLONEL.
HAPPY GATHERING (M Chadwick), which was following SINGAPORE SPIRIT, improved its position to be racing tight inside the heels of that horse which was then corrected by its rider.
This resulted in HAPPY GATHERING having to be checked away from the heels of SINGAPORE SPIRIT and shifting in, causing PRIDE OF DRAGON to lose ground when crowded for room inside HAPPY GATHERING which was then shifted out to relieve the crowding to PRIDE OF DRAGON.
DAILY BEAUTY, which was following, was shifted out away from the heels of PRIDE OF DRAGON in consequence.
M Chadwick was told that whilst the Stewards accepted that SINGAPORE SPIRIT had shifted out which presented the impression that that horse would continue to shift ground which would allow HAPPY GATHERING the opportunity to improve inside that horse, they were of the opinion that he had been somewhat premature in attempting to advance inside SINGAPORE SPIRIT prior to that horse shifting out into a three wide position.
He was therefore reprimanded and advised to exercise due care when improving into tight runs so as to ensure that he does not cause crowding to other runners.
Approaching the 150 Metres, L Hewitson (I BELIEVE IN MAGIC) dropped his whip.
Throughout the race, DASSIT travelled wide and without cover.
HAPPY GATHERING, POISED TO STRIKE and SINGAPORE SPIRIT were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Poised To Strike just got up 20m out after getting a perfect ride fourth on the fence for a maiden win. He'll need to prove it wasn't a one-off result after failing to finish in the topthree in 15 prior starts. Newcomer Singapore Spirit made it close on the wire after a oneout, one-back run. It was a very good effort on debut and he'll be winning races in no time. Colonel was just touched off late after hitting the front 250m out stalking the leader Happy Tango from a wide draw. He'll be winning shortly if he remains in the grade. Favourite Happy Gathering ran on to finish a distant fourth after a one-off trip in midfield. The six-pound rise in the weights for a win took its toll. Daily Beauty ran on without menacing after biding his time two from the rear. He'll be a force to be reckoned with if he can find his way into Class Five. Punted late Lucky Archangel got going late down the far outside but spotted them too much of a head start from an outside draw. He clearly has flashed ability in his four starts and it's only a matter of time before he salutes. You can forgive the run of newcomer Dassit who was caught deep without cover behind midfield the entire trip.
