HOME WITH GLORY was slow to begin. GILDED FLIGHT was crowded for room at the start between NICKU and SOMETHING SPECIAL, both of which shifted ground. A short distance after the start, SOMETHING SPECIAL, which had been taken across behind runners, was steadied when crowded for room between GILDED FLIGHT and VIVA GUY. Near the 400 Metres, HOME WITH GLORY was steadied when disappointed for running between SPLENDID CHAMPION and YUAN’S FORTUNE, both of which shifted slight ground. After this, HOME WITH GLORY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of SPLENDID CHAMPION. Throughout the race, NICKU travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. T Angland (SNITZEL KID) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 100 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of HOME WITH GLORY, causing that horse to be hampered when taken in across the rightful running of JOLLY WONGCHOY which as a result was also hampered and lost the running to which it was rightfully entitled. T Angland was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday, 5 December 2011 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 Sunday, 27 November 2011. A veterinary inspection of JOLLY WONGCHOY after the race did not show any significant findings, however, it was not able to be scoped. GILDED FLIGHT, YUAN’S FORTUNE and SNITZEL KID were sent for sampling.
