SOLITAIRE was slow to begin. On jumping, DARREN was crowded for room between JUST CHILL and GALLOPY which both shifted ground, resulting in all three horses becoming unbalanced. GANBARIA began awkwardly. GOOD FORTUNE shifted out at the start and bumped XAVERIAN QUEST which began awkwardly. After this, GOOD FORTUNE was taken across behind runners. XAVERIAN QUEST travelled wide and without cover until the 600 Metres at which point it crossed to race outside the leader, TOUT VA BIEN. GOOD FORTUNE hung out rounding the Home Turn. Passing the 300 Metres, COUNTRY MAGIC was shifted out when disappointed for running between TOUT VA BIEN and CLASSIC NAVIGATOR which shifted in. M W Leung (COUNTRY MAGIC) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 250 Metres he permitted his mount to shift out across the running of GANBARIA, causing that horse to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled. M W Leung was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday 12 November 2009 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Wednesday 4 November 2009. A veterinary inspection of DARREN after the race revealed that the horse was lame in the right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, DARREN will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. COUNTRY MAGIC, JUST CHILL and CLASSIC NAVIGATOR were sent for sampling.
