Recap by phillip woo

Hit late to jump equal favourite, Kowloon East Star never looked back after showing terrific gate speed to lead from gate 10 for his second win from 17 starts and first victory over this Happy Valley trip. Raging Blaze dashed late after making his run from towards the rear as usual to finish a close second. It was another honest performance following his win over 1,200m. Well-backed late, Tronic Mighty stayed on nicely to just miss second after slotting one off the rail in a prominent spot from his wide draw. He has the tools to add to his earlier win if he can draw a good gate. Early favourite Day Day Rich held his ground for a top-four spot after his box-seat run. He had no excuse. U W Brother gradually faded after his speed-tracking run on the fence. He might not be too far off a bottom. Aca Power ran on without threatening from near the rear. He requires a longer trip, and he is more effective at Sha Tin. Smart Folks ran on without menacing from behind midfield. The trip was too short. Universal Crown made some ground without ever looking a threat after biding his time two from the rear. He is not easy to get right.

Racing Incident Report

Race Two: (475) - BOWRINGTON HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1000Meters



STRIVE FOR GLORY was withdrawn on 6.3.23 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (inappetence) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter ENCORE.

Before being allowed to race again, STRIVE FOR GLORY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

UNIVERSAL CROWN and KOWLOON EAST STAR jumped awkwardly.

On jumping, CALL ME LU was bumped by BOOMING WELL which shifted in.

A short distance later, CALL ME LU was again bumped by BOOMING WELL which was taken in by SMART FOLKS.

Shortly after the start, U W BROTHER and TREASURE OF FIELD bumped.

ENCORE raced wide and without cover from the 700 Metres.

Near the 600 Metres, BOOMING WELL, which was inclined to race keenly, was steadied to avoid the heels of TRONIC MIGHTY (C Y Ho) which shifted in when not quite clear.

C Y Ho was advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground.

Making the Home Turn, DAY DAY RICH raced tight to the inside of TRONIC MIGHTY for a short distance.

RAGING BLAZE was held up making the Home Turn.

After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on DAY DAY RICH at the request of Trainer T P Yung.

The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.

Before being allowed to race again, DAY DAY RICH will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
