KA YING CHEER (H369): When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight and the reason he positioned his mount out towards the middle of the track, H Bowman stated that in pre-race discussions with Trainer P C Ng, he had been given the option of racing in this position as a number of winners tonight had won from this position. He said after racing outside the leader CALIFORNIA TOUCH, he allowed KA YING CHEER to shift out on the Home Turn, without having to direct his mount to do so, in accordance with the pre-race discussions that he had with connections. Mr Ng confirmed that Jockey Bowman was given the option of allowing KA YING CHEER to race in this position in the Home Straight. Sent for sampling post-race. RUN RUN TIMING (H403): Near the 600 Metres was bumped by COUNTRY DANCER which was positioned tight to the inside of CHEER FOR SOUTH.
