20/06/2012  Happy Valley  Race 3

FRIENDS OF YAN OI was crowded for room at the start between GOLD EDITION and EVER BEAUTY which shifted in. M L Yeung (GOLD EDITION) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 850 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of SMART KIDS, resulting in that horse being checked and being taken in across the rightful running of JADE MOLLY which as a result was severely checked and lost the running to which it was rightfully entitled. JUN JU, which was following JADE MOLLY, was also severely checked in consequence. M L Yeung was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday, 5 July 2012 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 this Sunday, 24 June 2012. In addition, M L Yeung was fined $30,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating 1 further raceday. Approaching and rounding the first turn after the 600 Metres, JADE MOLLY got its head on the side and hung out badly and in doing so made contact with DANEWIN WINNING, resulting in that horse being taken wider. JUN JU, which was following, was also taken wider as a result of this incident and near the 550 Metres was shifted in to avoid racing wide. JADE MOLLY continued to hang out and near the 500 Metres hung out abruptly across the heels of DANEWIN WINNING. A veterinary inspection of JADE MOLLY after the race revealed that the horse had bled from both nostrils. A veterinary inspection of DANEWIN WINNING after the race did not show any significant findings. GOLD EDITION, EVER BEAUTY and SMART KIDS were sent for sampling.
