Racing Incident Report
Race Ten : (169) - SANTA MONICA HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1400Meters
Horse No 1 VICTOR THE WINNER (G404) K Teetan Shifted out at the start and was bumped.
Horse No 2 LIGHT YEARS CHARM (K130) Z Purton Began only fairly.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 3 HEALTHY HAPPY (D435) C L Chau Bumped at the start.
Horse No 5 DROMBEG BANNER (H117) H Doyle Over the concluding stages made contact with STEPS AHEAD due to both runners shifting ground.
When questioned H Doyle stated that her instructions were to endeavour to lead the race and find the rail as DROMBEG BANNER performs best in this position.
She said after commencing well and riding her mount along, when positioned to the outside and in advance of BEAUTY CRESCENT, she continued to ride her mount forward with a view to crossing BEAUTY CRESCENT in compliance with her instructions.
She said when BEAUTY CRESCENT maintained the position to her inside and she was not clear to cross that runner she then near the 1000 Metres restrained her mount to take a position to the outside of BEAUTY CRESCENT.
She added as a result of the tactics she adopted in the early stages the race was run inside of standard time through that section of the race.
When questioned regarding her riding from the 450 Metres and if there was an opportunity to ride her mount more patiently, given the fast early pace, Jockey Doyle stated that making the turn DROMBEG BANNER did not travel well and for this reason near the 450 Metres she commenced to ride her mount along to make up ground on BEAUTY CRESCENT and after initially responding to her riding the horse's run ended near the 100 Metres.
After considering her explanation, whilst the Stewards found the tactics she adopted in the early stages were reasonable, she was advised that in the circumstances she made an error of judgement from the 450 Metres by placing her mount under pressure too soon, particularly having regard to the early and middle stages of the event being run inside of standard time.
Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions issued.
Horse No 6 KAHOLO ANGEL (H216) E C W Wong Jumped awkwardly.
Horse No 7 YOUNG CHAMPION (J195) B Avdulla B Avdulla reported that along the Back Straight his mount became unbalanced when it appeared to jump a shadow on the track near the 1100 Metres.
Horse No 8 STEPS AHEAD (J263) L Hewitson Over the concluding stages made contact with DROMBEG BANNER due to both runners shifting ground.
Horse No 10 SHANWAH (L123) R Kingscote Slow to begin.
Horse No 11 AERIS NOVA (J534) K C Leung Bumped at the start.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 12 BEAUTY CRESCENT (H334) Y L Chung When questioned regarding his riding Y L Chung explained that his instructions were to lead the event but if the pace was too fast he was given the option to obtain a position with cover behind the lead.
He said in the early stages he rode his mount along to attempt to lead the race and when positioned slightly behind DROMBEG BANNER in the early stages he continued to encourage his mount forward to hold the lead.
He said after improving into the lead to the inside of DROMBEG BANNER near the 1100 Metres BEAUTY CRESCENT then commenced to race keenly when DROMBEG BANNER was positioned to his outside.
He added that this resulted in the pace of the event during the early and middle stages of the race being run inside of standard time.
After considering his explanation the Stewards advised Jockey Chung that he had made an error of judgement in the early stages by continuing to endeavour to maintain the lead when the pace of the event was being run inside of standard time and in the circumstances he should have allowed DROMBEG BANNER to cross his mount and take advantage of the option to obtain a position with cover behind that runner.
Horse No 13 MICKLEY (K082) M L Yeung From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Horse No 14 MID WINTER WIND (K208) M Chadwick Over the concluding stages could not be fully ridden out when positioned close to LIGHT YEARS CHARM.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Light Years Charm was one off travelling better than midfield about nine lengths behind a pair of tearaway leaders at one point but got up 80m out for a fifth win from 11 local starts. Aeris Nova ran on nicely for second after a rails run from midfield. He was able to build on closing fourth in a good form race over 1,200m. Mid Winter Wind ran on nicely for third after making his run fourth last. He's run well to place in two of three starts this term. Punted late Beauty Cresent kept on gamely for fourth after going hammer and tong for the front with Drombeg Banner to his outside. It was a good effort up in grade after winning three on the bounce. Well backed Steps Ahead came up flat when asked for more after sitting third in the run chasing a hot pace. Drombeg Banner was on his tippy toes 100m out after serving it up to Beauty Crescent for the lead from gate 10. He had an excuse.
