Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (529) - WU YEE SUN ALUMNI HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1600Meters
CHING jumped only fairly.
PACKING HURRICANE was bumped at the start by LEADING FORTUNE which shifted out.
THE BEST PEACH was slow to begin and then shifted in and made contact with the hindquarters of ATOMIC BEAUTY.
CELTIC TIMES jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
ENTRUSTED also jumped awkwardly.
Between the 1400 Metres and the 1000 Metres, CHING and LEADING FORTUNE (L Currie) contested a position one-off and behind HAPPY TOGETHER.
Approaching the 900 Metres, when LEADING FORTUNE was unable to direct CHING towards the rail, LEADING FORTUNE was checked when crowded between CHING and SINBA (H Bowman) which shifted in slightly.
The Stewards found that the actions of L Currie in persisting too long to endeavour to direct CHING towards the rail was a significant contributor to the interference suffered by LEADING FORTUNE, however, H Bowman was also advised to exercise more care.
CELTIC TIMES, which was following, was steadied away from LEADING FORTUNE in consequence.
THE EQUALIZER lay out on the Home Turn.
SUPER OASIS raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event and near the 125 Metres shifted out and bumped CELTIC TIMES.
Near the 75 Metres, ENTRUSTED was directed to the inside of SUPER BABY to continue into clear running.
Over the concluding stages, PEGASUS HERO lay out away from CHING when that runner improved to the inside of PEGASUS HERO, resulting in SINBA shifting out and away from PEGASUS HERO, forcing HAPPY TOGETHER wider.
In this incident, CELTIC TIMES, which was finishing the race off well, could not be ridden out when positioned close to HAPPY TOGETHER.
When questioned regarding his riding of HAPPY TOGETHER making the Home Turn, Z Purton stated that after being positioned behind and to the inside of ATOMIC BEAUTY, he noticed that runner to be under pressure and therefore was reluctant to shift out to follow it into the event from the 500 Metres.
He said he remained racing to the inside of ATOMIC BEAUTY and when he identified that THE EQUALIZER commenced to lay out, he shifted to the inside of that runner in an attempt to secure clear running.
He added that as he commenced to shift in, PEGASUS HERO, which was positioned to his inside, shifted out which resulted in HAPPY TOGETHER being checked when disappointed for clear running to the inside of THE EQUALIZER.
He further added that when THE EQUALIZER commenced to give ground, he became badly held up on the heels of that runner, was severely checked and as a result lost a considerable amount of ground.
After considering the explanation offered by Jockey Purton, the Stewards found the tactics he adopted at this stage of the race were reasonable in the circumstances.
When questioned regarding his riding of PACKING HURRICANE in the Straight, K Teetan stated that after settling towards the rear of the field, he placed PACKING HURRICANE under pressure on straightening to commence to improve.
He said in the Straight he made his run together with ENTRUSTED being positioned to his outside and passing the 300 Metres when PACKING HURRICANE commenced to make ground, he observed MASSIVE ACTION, which was positioned well in advance of him, commenced to give ground.
He added he was unable to shift PACKING HURRICANE away from that runner as he still had ENTRUSTED racing to his outside and received a call from its rider, S De Sousa, which prevented him from shifting out.
He said as a consequence near the 100 Metres he was obliged to check to avoid MASSIVE ACTION and then shifted to that runner's outside to secure clear running whereby he was able to ride his mount out to the finish although PACKING HURRICANE was well beaten.
The Stewards advised K Teeten that wherever possible he should ensure he fully tests his mounts to the finish of the race.
A veterinary inspection of LEADING FORTUNE and MASSIVE ACTION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
CHING and PEGASUS HERO were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Ching dug in deep to just reel in rank outsider Pegasus Hero in the dying stages for a third win from his past four starts following a step up to 1,600m. He's racing well and remains one to follow. Pegasus Hero nearly caused an upset after hitting the front 200m out from midfield. It was clearly his best run from six local starts. Punted late Sinba had to check late but finished well after a wide trip from behind midfield to finish a close third. It was a fine effort carrying top weight. Well-fancied to nearly jump favourite Happy Together ran on steadily for fourth after getting held up for run until 250m from midfield. He should have finished closer. The Best Peach ran on well to pick up a minor cheque after biding his time three from the rear. He proved a placing last start was not a fluke. Celtic Times dashed late to finish next best ridden third last from a wide draw. He has shown hints of ability in five starts and can bob up at any time. Super Oasis held his ground after a wide without cover run from midfield.
