Steward Report Predict Pace Map
From the outside barrier, FORTUNE BOOTH was steadied on jumping and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. ALCARI shifted out at the start and bumped JOLLY CONVERGENCE. Then from a wide barrier, ALCARI was shifted across behind runners shortly after the start. HEALTHY LUCK began awkwardly. FANTASTIC FEELING was crowded for room shortly after the start between G-ONE LOVER which got its head its head on the side and shifted out and BACK IN BLACK which was taken in by GAMECHANGERS. Making the turn passing the 1000 Metres, FORTUNE BOOTH momentarily raced tight inside ALCARI which was racing tight inside JOLLY CONVERGENCE. Passing the 900 Metres, FANTASTIC FEELING commenced to travel keenly and got its head up when being checked away from the heels of BOLD STITCH. Approaching the 700 Metres, FANTASTIC FEELING again got its head up when having to be checked away from the heels of BOLD STITCH when continuing to travel keenly. FORTUNE BOOTH, which was following, was steadied away from the heels of FANTASTIC FEELING in consequence. Shortly after entering the Straight, EXTREMELY FUN was shifted in away from the heels of SMART DECLARATION to obtain clear running. Passing the 150 Metres, ALCARI was severely checked when disappointed for running between HEALTHY LUCK and BOLD STITCH. When ALCARI was checked, that horse shifted in and bumped FANTASTIC FEELING which was crowded for room between ALCARI and FORTUNE BOOTH. After this, FORTUNE BOOTH was unable to obtain clear running and over the concluding stages was checked away from the heels of SMART DECLARATION when racing tight inside FANTASTIC FEELING. A Badel (BOLD STITCH) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that approaching the 100 Metres he directed his mount to the outside of EXCEPTIONAL DESIRE into running between that horse and HEALTHY LUCK where there was insufficient room, resulting in HEALTHY LUCK being severely checked when crowded for room between BOLD STITCH and BACK IN BLACK which became unbalanced due to making contact with HEALTHY LUCK. A Badel was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Wednesday, 21 February 2018 and to expire on Monday, 26 February 2018 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into consideration that there were a number of circumstances associated with this incident. After this, BACK IN BLACK raced tight inside GAMECHANGERS which shifted in, resulting in BACK IN BLACK and GAMECHANGERS bumping near the 75 Metres. Over the concluding stages, BACK IN BLACK lay in under pressure and made contact with BOLD STITCH passing the winning post. Close to the finishing line, FANTASTIC FEELING was checked away from the heels of EXCEPTIONAL DESIRE which got its head on the side and shifted in after being brushed by BOLD STITCH. SMART DECLARATION, which was racing to the inside of FANTASTIC FEELING, was bumped by that horse and then raced tight inside FANTASTIC FEELING passing the winning post. After the race, Apprentice M F Poon was unable to offer any explanation for the disappointing performance of G-ONE LOVER. He stated that G-ONE LOVER travelled comfortably in the middle stages, however, when placed under pressure in the Straight did not finish off the race. A veterinary inspection of G-ONE LOVER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that BACK IN BLACK had sustained minor cuts to the right hind pastern and left front fetlock. BOLD STITCH and BACK IN BLACK were sent for sampling.
