Steward Report Predict Pace Map
LOLLIPOP was withdrawn on 17.10.08 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (substantial amount of mucopus in trachea on scoping after track work) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter DIM SUM (K T Yeung). Before being allowed to race again, LOLLIPOP will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. In the early stages, MY HOME TOWN and ELITE CHAMPION were taken back. Near the 1100 Metres, STREET CAT became unbalanced after bumping with the hindquarters of BLUE GENES. At the 1100 Metres, ELITE CHAMPION got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of NOBLE MAN. For some distance approaching and passing the 400 Metres, NOBLE MAN was steadied when disappointed for running between ELITE CHAMPION and DIM SUM. Over about the last 150 Metres, ULTRA FANTASY had difficulty obtaining clear running and because of this was not fully tested. K L Chui (MY HOME TOWN) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 100 Metres he shifted his mount out when not clear of BEAR MACHO, causing that horse to lose its rightful running and be severely checked. K L Chui was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday 3 November 2008 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 next Sunday 26 October 2008. In addition, K L Chui was fined $15,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating 1 further raceday. In assessing penalty, the Stewards considered the degree of carelessness and the consequential effects of that carelessness. C K Tong (STREET CAT) was severely reprimanded for permitting his mount to shift in near the 100 Metres when not clear of CANNONISE, causing that horse to be steadied. At the 100 Metres, ELITE CHAMPION, which was having difficulty obtaining clear running, was steadied and shifted to the outside of DIM SUM. Also at the 100 Metres, E Saint-Martin (KING ENCOSTA) dropped his whip. For the majority of the race, CANNONISE travelled wide and without cover. W C Marwing (BLUE GENES) reported after the 200 Metres his saddle shifted backwards which placed him at a disadvantage in riding his mount out over the concluding stages. BLUE GENES was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of BLUE GENES after the race did not show any significant findings. HIGH POINT and DIM SUM were sent for sampling. Additional Veterinary Report (20/10/2008) BLUE GENES, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. BLUE GENES was again examined by the Head of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison at the stables of Trainer P F Yiu this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its both hind legs. Before being allowed to race again, BLUE GENES will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
