Racing Incident Report
Race One: (502) - SKY DARCI HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
TRAVEL GUIDE was slow to begin.
On jumping, PRECISION GOAL, FLAMINGO TRILLION and JUNE PLANET were badly crowded for room between ISLAND GOLDEN which jumped awkwardly and shifted in and SWEET DIAMOND which, after shifting out on jumping and making contact with PRECISION GOAL, was then taken out further by SNOWALOT (L Hewitson) which shifted out.
L Hewitson was advised to exercise more care.
After this, JUNE PLANET and ISLAND GOLDEN were shifted across behind runners in the early stages from wide barriers.
MIRACULOUS HONOUR jumped awkwardly and shifted in.
FLAMINGO TRILLION was inclined to race keenly in the early stages when being shifted in behind to obtain cover.
After the 800 Metres, SWEET DIAMOND was left racing wide and without cover and lay out making the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight.
Approaching the 400 Metres, CALL ME DANDY shifted out to improve and as a result made contact with MIRACULOUS HONOUR.
S De Sousa (SOARING TOWER) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 450 Metres he permitted his mount to shift out when not clear of FLAMINGO TRILLION, resulting in that horse being checked and losing the running to which it was rightfully entitled.
S De Sousa was suspended from riding in races for a period to commence on Sunday, 26 March 2023 and to expire on Monday, 3 April 2023 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays).
In addition, Jockey De Sousa was fined $60,000.
Approaching the 300 Metres, FLAMINGO TRILLION raced tight between ISLAND GOLDEN and SOARING TOWER which shifted out slightly and as a result bumped with ISLAND GOLDEN.
Passing the 100 Metres, K Teetan, the rider of FLAMINGO TRILLION, dropped his whip.
When questioned regarding CRYSTAL POWERFUL being ridden in a forward position, Apprentice Y L Chung stated that from his wide barrier he was asked by connections to endeavour to lead on CRYSTAL POWERFUL, particularly with several first starters being in today's field that had an unknown racing pattern.
He said in the early stages he rode his mount vigorously to comply with his instructions and approaching the first turn was caught wide and without cover to the outside of PRECISION GOAL.
He added that having regard to his instructions, he continued to press forward in an attempt to obtain the lead and cross PRECISION GOAL.
He further added that whilst he was aware that a position may be available behind PRECISION GAOL, in the circumstances he elected not to take that option to comply with his instructions.
Trainer C S Shum confirmed the instructions issued.
After the race, CHAMPION INSTINCT was noted to have sustained a laceration to the right hind leg.
A veterinary inspection of ISLAND GOLDEN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
SNOWALOT, CALL ME DANDY and CHAMPION INSTINCT were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Punted late Call Me Dandy took control 200m out after getting a lovely run on the fence in fourth from gate 12 to ring up a first win at his third start. He had run well on debut before misfiring last start. Champion Instinct ran on nicely to grab second after saving ground behind midfield. It was a smart effort on debut. Early favourite June Planet finished nicely to grab third on the wire after a patient ride one from the rear from an outside gate. He's made a good impression in both starts. Snowalot found a few too good after a one off run from midfield. It was another honest effort. Miraculous Honour was on his tippy toes 100m out after working to second mid-straight from midfield on the fence. It was a better effort. Newcomer Flamingo Trillion made headway late without threatening after wide with cover run travelling four from the rear. He needed the outing. Soaring Tower made progress late near the outside after a one off run from behind midfield. He'll be a force to be reckoned with if he can find his way into Class Five.
