17/10/2021  Shatin  Race 10

CALIFORNIA RAD began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of LUCKY MORE. From the outside barrier, VALIANT DREAM was steadied in the early stages to obtain cover. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, GOLDEN DASH failed to muster speed. C Schofield (FANTASTIC TREASURE) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching and passing the 1000 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of PING HAI BRAVO, causing that horse to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled. C Schofield was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Sunday, 31 October 2021 and to expire on Thursday, 4 November 2021 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). In addition, Jockey Schofield was fined $10,000. GOLD CHEST had some difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight and near the 300 Metres shifted out and bumped SUNNY BOY which became unbalanced. Over the final 200 Metres, VALIANT DREAM shifted out under pressure. Throughout the race, FANTASTIC WAY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of WINNING DREAMER immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, WINNING DREAMER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. FANTASTIC TREASURE, TRILLION WIN and LUCKY MORE were sent for sampling.
