Racing Incident Report
Race Three: (49) - PARROT HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1800Meters
TURQUOISE ALPHA was withdrawn on 26.9.23 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore).
Before being allowed to race again, TURQUOISE ALPHA will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
WONDER YEARS was slow to begin.
From the outside barrier, AI ONE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Between the 550 Metres and the 400 Metres, RIGHT AS RAIN was held up and unable to improve when positioned behind NICE BIRDIE.
After the race, L Ferraris (WONDER YEARS) reported that his mount hung out from the 600 Metres and as a consequence made the Home Turn wide.
A veterinary inspection of WONDER YEARS and NICE BIRDIE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of CIRCUIT ELITE immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.
Before being allowed to race again, CIRCUIT ELITE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
RIGHT AS RAIN, HAPPY ANGEL and WIN WIN FIGHTER were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Early favourite Happy Angel chased the speed one off the fence, claimed the lead 650m out and kept on gamely under Matthew Chadwick's urgings in the straight to post his first Hong Kong win on his 26th local start. He was overdue after recording eight minor placings last term. Win Win Fighter ran on well with two gallopers wider out to finish a close second. He built on his unlucky run two weeks earlier. He could break through soon. Post-time favourite Right As Rain ran on steadily to finish a close third after his prominent run. He should strip fitter second up. Wonder Years circled the field under the whip to go from last to second during the race's middle stages. He whacked on one-paced to finish the next best without threatening the top three. He is a 2,200m specialist. AI One ran on steadily from near last. He is not good enough at this level. Nice Birdie tamely faded after clearing to the lead 1,250m out. He has been disappointing in both of his starts this season. He looks destined for Class Five. Circuit Elite could have led but Angus Chung Yik-lai elected to settle him in third. He went backwards in the run to the wire.
