Racing Incident Report
Race Five: (570) - TONG FUK HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Meters
ACCELERANDO shifted in at the start and bumped INDIGENOUS REALM which in turn shifted in and brushed JOYFUL GENIUS.
SIXTH GENERATION shifted in at the start and bumped SUPERB DADDY which lost ground when unbalanced and crowded for room outside TURIN WARRIOR.
From wide barriers, LIFELINE VISION and CITY LEGEND were steadied to obtain cover.
Near the 1050 Metres, CIRCUIT ELITE was momentarily crowded for room inside AMAZING VICTORY which got its head on the side and shifted in away from NATURAL GOLD.
ACCELERANDO made the turn after the 900 Metres awkwardly and shifted out towards the heels of INDIGENOUS REALM.
When questioned, J Moreira stated that it was intended for CHEERY to be ridden in a position forward of midfield if possible from barrier 13.
He said however that CHEERY began awkwardly and shifted out towards the heels of CITY LEGEND which resulted in CHEERY losing ground.
He said he therefore shifted CHEERY across behind runners which resulted in the horse being positioned towards the rear of the field.
He said after the 600 Metres he commenced to shift to the outside of ACCELERANDO to improve around that horse, however, ACCELERANDO lost ground abruptly passing the 500 Metres which resulted in CHEERY having to be checked away from the heels of that horse and losing momentum.
He added that CHEERY was then able to obtain clear running to the inside of ACCELERANDO rounding the Home Turn and after being balanced up took some time to regather momentum.
He said CHEERY then finished off the race well over the concluding stages.
A veterinary inspection of CHEERY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of LIFELINE VISION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on COURAGEOUS KNIGHT at the request of Trainer C S Shum.
The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.
Before being allowed to race again, COURAGEOUS KNIGHT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
JOYFUL GENIUS, NATURAL GOLD and COURAGEOUS KNIGHT were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Natural Gold was given a well-judged ride after going straight to the front from gate 11 for a maiden win at his seventh start. He had put the writing on the wall last start. Courageous Knight ran on steadily to fill the Quinella spot after a prominent run one off with cover. He relished a return to Sha Tin and did have a good gate. Firming favourite Joyful Genius just failed to get up for second after a handy run along the fence. He's as honest as the day is long but has trouble winning. Amazing Victory was on his tippy toes 100m out after a pace-stalking run. He's shown potential in his four starts and isn't far off a win. Turin Warrior ran on steadily after a one-off run in midfield. He likely requires a longer trip. Plunged late Circuit Elite weakened after a box-seat run. It wasn't a bad run but he does appear destined for Class Five. Hang's Decision ran on without menacing from behind midfield. He wasn't suited by the tempo of the race. Third favourite Cheery was doing his best work late ridden for luck from a wide draw. He was another at the mercy of a paceless race. Lifeline Vision came up flat travelling towards the rear.
