After considering the evidence, the Stewards found that leaving the 150 Metres TOP GUN shifted in, crowding the running of SECOND TO NONE for some distance which resulted in both runners making contact approaching the 100 Metres. The Stewards also found that over the final 50 Metres SECOND TO NONE was afforded clear running during which period SECOND TO NONE failed to make any ground on TOP GUN. After considering the manner in which both horses finished the race off, the Stewards were satisfied that had the interference not occurred after the 150 Metres, TOP GUN would have still finished in advance of SECOND TO NONE, the protest/objection was overruled and weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. K Teetan was advised to exercise more care. Sent for sampling post-race. KA YING VICTORY (H287): When questioned regarding KA YING VICTORY racing in a forward position, Z Purton stated that due to the racing pattern of today which, in his opinion, had favoured on-pace horses, he was instructed from a wide barrier to go forward.

When questioned regarding his riding out of KA YING VICTORY, Z Purton stated that over the concluding stages when LOST CHILD shifted out, he was concerned that runner would continue to shift out and, as a precaution, he did not ride his mount out from that point.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race. PRINCIPLED (J206): Slow to begin. SUNLIGHT POWER (H244): Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. Throughout the early stages over-raced and approaching the 900 Metres was steadied away from PRINCIPLED.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race. VOYAGE BUBBLE (E436): No report. BEAUTY ETERNAL (H008): When questioned, Z Purton stated that from the outside barrier he was given the option of going forward and leading in the race where it appeared there was little early speed. He said after commencing well, he allowed BEAUTY ETERNAL to stride to the front and, in his opinion, the horse was advantaged by being able to race on the rail today. Sent for sampling post-race. BEAUTY JOY (E058): No report. OBAMBURUMAI (J824): Shortly after the start was bumped. BRAVE EMPEROR (J825): When questioned regarding the performance, L Morris stated that the intention was to race in or outside the lead.

He said despite riding his mount along in the early stages, he was unable to race in his preferred position and as a result settled in a handy position where he followed GOLDEN SIXTY. He added that with his mount stepping up in grade for today’s event, BRAVE EMPEROR then was unable to finish the race off due to the fact that it had settled further back in the field than anticipated. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CHAMPAGNE COLOR (J826): Knuckled over on jumping and lost ground. ELTON BAROWS (J827): Jumped only fairly. GALAXY PATCH (H399): No report. RED LION (H115): Sent for sampling post-race. TAJ DRAGON (H164): No report.

Near the 1400 Metres MASSIVE SOVEREIGN made contact with STRAIGHT ARRON when STRAIGHT ARRON was racing tight to the inside of DUBAI HONOUR (T Marquand). As a result of that contact, MASSIVE SOVEREIGN shifted out and became unbalanced, resulting in STRAIGHT ARRON having to be checked when crowded between MASSIVE SOVEREIGN and DUBAI HONOUR. At the same point, MASSIVE SOVEREIGN was also inconvenienced when HAPPY TOGETHER was positioned tight to the inside of ROMANTIC WARRIOR (J McDonald). Both T Marquand and J McDonald were advised to exercise more care and ensure that runners to their inside have comfortable racing room. When questioned, C Y Ho stated that after his mount was checked near the 1400 Metres, it failed to travel at any stage after this incident and, in his opinion, this was the reason for STRAIGHT ARRON failing to run on in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SWORD POINT (G448): From the 1000 Metres raced wide and without cover when it shifted to the outside of NIMBLE NIMBUS.

Before being allowed to race again, LUCKY ENCOUNTER will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. WONDER KIT (G455): When questioned regarding his riding in the early part of the Home Straight and the reason he shifted to the outside of TELECOM FIGHTERS, L Hewitson stated that after following TELECOM FIGHTERS, his initial decision was to improve to that runner’s inside. He said as he commenced to do so near the 400 Metres, WONDER KIT did not immediately respond to his riding and when he then was concerned that TELECOM FIGHTERS would shift in, crowding his running and halting his momentum, he then elected near the 350 Metres to shift to the outside of TELECOM FIGHTERS and LUCKY ENCOUNTER to obtain clear running. He added that when being shifted to the outside of LUCKY ENCOUNTER, his mount brushed SUPREME LUCKY before finishing the race off well. Whilst L Hewitson conceded that the run had remained open to the inside of TELECOM FIGHTERS in the Home Straight, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Hewitson in the circumstances were reasonable having regard to the explanations he provided. Sent for sampling post-race. BLUE MARLIN (H078): No report. OUTGATE (H113): After the race, Apprentice Y L Chung reported that his mount travelled only fairly throughout the event and, in his opinion, did not appreciate today’s "Yielding” track conditions.

GRACIOUS EXPRESS (J188): Jumped awkwardly and was then hampered when bumped by TELECOM POWER which shifted out. STAR CLUB (H239): When questioned regarding his riding, B Shinn stated that he had expected to take a position towards the rear of the field as STAR CLUB had performed best when being ridden in this manner. When questioned regarding his riding making the Home Turn and as to whether there was an opportunity to improve to the outside of STORM RIDER, B Shinn stated that his instructions were to not expose his mount too early in the Home Straight as STAR CLUB has only a short sprint and if he placed his mount under pressure too soon it would not finish the race off well. He added for this reason he elected to remain racing at the rear of the field behind GUSTOSISIMO which he felt was still travelling reasonably well and would provide him with a horse to follow into the race. He said when GUSTOSISIMO did not initially respond to his rider’s urgings in the early part of the Home Straight, he became held up for clear running behind that runner until near the 300 Metres when he shifted to its inside in an attempt to secure clear running. He added that at this point TELECOM POWER was giving ground and he was then held up behind that runner before obtaining clear running after the 200 Metres. Trainer D J Hall confirmed the instructions issued and confirmed that he had specifically asked Jockey Shinn not to improve into the event too soon as the horse had not finished its races off when ridden in this manner previously. After considering this explanations, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Shinn in the circumstances were reasonable, however, the Stewards advised that with the benefit of hindsight the better option would have been to shift to the outside of STORM RIDER making the Home Turn which would have allowed him to improve into the race in the early part of the Home Straight.
