19/11/2008  Happy Valley  Race 5

On jumping, MYTHIC STEED was taken across behind runners. At the 800 Metres, ELECTRONIC MASTER got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of KINGSTON WINNER. At the 250 Metres, SUPER FANTASY, which was commencing to give ground after travelling wide and without cover for the majority of the race, was carried wider by O'REILLY MAGIC which for some distance had been experiencing difficulty obtaining clear running and at this time was shifted to the outside of GOLDEN TREASURE. For a considerable distance approaching and passing the 100 Metres, ELECTRONIC MASTER was steadied when unable to obtain clear running. Close to the line, KINGSTON WINNER was steadied when tightened for room between BATURO and GOLDEN TREASURE which drifted in. Because of this, KINGSTON WINNER was not ridden out to the end of the race as it normally would be. Y T Cheng (KEY WINNER) explained after the 200 Metres ROCKET AND GOLD got its head on the side and commenced to shift out on his inside. He said when ROCKET AND GOLD shifted ground, he stopped riding his mount out with the whip and continued to ride along hands and heels to ensure it remained balanced. He said when ROCKET AND GOLD straightened, he then recommenced riding his mount out with the whip. KINGSTON WINNER and SUPER FANTASY were sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of KINGSTON WINNER and SUPER FANTASY after the race did not show any significant findings. NEW CHAPTER and O’REILLY MAGIC were sent for sampling.
