Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 2 NORTHERN FIRE BALL (J488) Sent for sampling post-race.
2 1 GIDDY UP (J020) After the 250 Metres had some difficulty obtaining clear running when being shifted to the outside of SPICY SPANGLE when that runner shifted to the outside of NORTHER FIRE BALL to obtain clear running. In this incident, GIDDY UP made contact with TEAM HAPPY. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 4 LOVEISINTHEAIR (J550) When questioned, H Bowman stated that from an inside barrier his instructions were, if possible to hold a slightly more forward position. He said LOVEISINTHEAIR jumped awkwardly, made contact with the right side of its barrier and as a result settled a little further back than intended. When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight H Bowman stated that LOVEISINTHEAIR, which was having its third race start, did not appreciate racing amongst horses and as a result he was reluctant to force his mount to improve between NORTHERN FIRE BALL and SPICY SPANGLE. He said when he observed NORTHERN FIRE BALL to shift out away from the rail near the 200 Metres he then considered allowing his mount to improve to the inside of NORTHERN FIRE BALL as it was already shifting in towards the running rail. He said when NORTHERN FIRE BALL did not leave sufficient room for LOVEISINTHEAIR to improve to its inside he was obliged to stop riding with the whip and direct LOVEISINTHEAIR to the outside of NORTHERN FIRE BALL approaching the 50 Metres to ensure his mount obtained clear running to the finish. After considering his explanation the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Bowman were reasonable in the circumstances.
4 5 SPICY SPANGLE (J087) Over the concluding stages was eased when crowded between LOVEISINTHEAIR and GIDDY UP (B Avdulla) which shifted in. B Avdulla was advised to exercise more care.
5 8 GLORY CLOUD (H320) No report.
6 12 SAME TO YOU (H057) After the event, A Atzeni reported that from the outside barrier he was instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages. Trainer M Newnham confirmed the instructions issued.
7 6 CHILL MASTER (J319) Jumped only fairly. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
8 10 TEAM HAPPY (J218) When caught wide and without cover in the early stages was ridden forward near the 600 Metres to cross ORIENTAL SURPRISE and race outside the lead. Near the 250 Metres was bumped by GIDDY UP.
9 11 TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR (H430) Leaving the 1100 Metres made contact with MASTER OF HUMOR and became unbalanced as it was being shifted behind that runner to obtain cover. After the event, K Teetan reported that his mount raced too keenly in the early and middle stages and as a result did not respond to his riding when placed under pressure in the Home Straight. Trainer C S Shum stated that TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR was disadvantaged by racing keenly throughout the event which restricted its ability to run on in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Sent for sampling post-race.
10 7 ORIENTAL SURPRISE (K028) Bumped at the start. After the event, Apprentice E C W Wong reported that with blinkers being applied to the horse he was asked to take up a more forward position.
11 9 COSMO NAVIGATOR (H156) Approaching the first turn near the 1000 Metres was steadied to avoid TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR when racing keenly.
12 3 MASTER OF HUMOR (K281) On jumping was bumped by ORIENTAL SURPRISE. After the 1100 Metres was bumped on the hindquarters and became unbalanced. Was left racing wide and without cover from the 600 Metres.
