When proceeding to the barriers, J Moreira was dislodged from AMAZING KIDS. J Moreira promptly remounted the horse without further incident. HONG KONG CAPTAIN and MASTER CERAMIBO began only fairly. From a wide barrier, SUPREME FALCON was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Also from a wide barrier, AMAZING KIDS, when being steadied in the early stages in order to be shifted across behind runners, got its head up on a number of occasions. For some distance passing the 1000 Metres, SECRET COMMAND (K Teetan) became unbalanced as a result of contact from LOOKS LIKE THE CAT (N Callan) which shifted in. SECRET COMMAND and LOOKS LIKE THE CAT continued to race tight as K Teetan endeavoured to remain racing in a one-off position. In this incident, the left elbow of K Teetan extended towards N Callan. N Callan was reprimanded for shifting in and making contact with SECRET COMMAND, resulting in that horse becoming unbalanced. K Teetan was warned against the practice of extending his elbow away from his body. Approaching the 900 Metres, BORN IN CHINA was left racing wide and without cover. Passing the 900 Metres, HARRIER JET was awkwardly placed close to the heels of BORN IN CHINA. HARRIER JET then made the turn after the 900 Metres wide after shifting out away from the heels of BORN IN CHINA. Passing the 600 Metres, LOOKS LIKE THE CAT was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ALMABABY. ALMABABY got its head on the side and lay out rounding the Home Turn. Over the concluding stages, FRIENDS OF KA YING raced tight inside JETWINGS. When questioned, B Prebble (SUPREME FALCON) stated that his mount commenced to improve into the race nicely in the early part of the Straight, however, passing the 300 Metres commenced to make an audible abnormal breathing noise. He said as he was concerned regarding the welfare of the horse, he eased it down over the latter stages of the race. He added after the race the horse continued to make an abnormal breathing noise. A veterinary inspection of SUPREME FALCON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Before being allowed to race again, SUPREME FALCON will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. FABULOUS ONE and AMAZING KIDS were sent for sampling.
