16/03/2016  Happy Valley  Race 7

DIAMOND MASTER began only fairly and then shortly after the start was momentarily steadied away from the heels of TIMELY ARRIVED (M L Yeung) which shifted in before being directed out to relieve the tightening to DIAMOND MASTER. M L Yeung was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care. A short distance after this, FANTASTIC FEELING was momentarily crowded for room between DIAMOND MASTER and ALL TOGETHER which shifted out marginally. From wide barriers, JOY LUCK WIN, MEGA RED and COUR VALANT were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. M L Yeung pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 1000 Metres he permitted TIMELY ARRIVED to shift in when not clear of ALL TOGETHER, causing that horse to be unnecessarily crowded for room and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled. M L Yeung was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday, 4 April 2016 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 Monday, 28 March 2016. In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey Yeung��s good race riding record during the most recent 2014/2015 and current racing seasons. GOOD LUCK BOY lost its left front plate near the 850 Metres. After the 850 Metres, DIAMOND MASTER commenced to travel keenly and was shifted out away from the heels of GOOD LUCK BOY after being awkwardly placed behind that horse. Near the 700 Metres, YOUNG DREAMER was momentarily crowded for room between FANTASTIC FEELING which shifted out marginally and GRAND HARBOUR (K C Leung) which shifted in when being steadied to obtain a trailing position behind DIAMOND MASTER. K C Leung was advised to exercise more care. Rounding the Home Turn, GOAL FOR GOLD was momentarily held up behind ALL TOGETHER and FANTASTIC FEELING. After the 250 Metres, MEGA RED was steadied when disappointed for running inside ALL TOGETHER which shifted in when giving ground. After the 150 Metres, JOY LUCK WIN, which was finishing off the race well, was shifted out away from the heels of GRAND HARBOUR to continue improving. A veterinary inspection of FANTASTIC FEELING immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TIMELY ARRIVED and GOOD LUCK BOY were sent for sampling.
