Racing Incident Report
Race Seven: (587)-THE HONG KONG RUGBY UNION CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 3 - 1200Metres
GENEROUS HEART was withdrawn on 19.4.17 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore) and was replaced by first Standby Declared Starter TIMELY ARRIVED (M L Yeung).SUPER SPRINTER was also withdrawn on 19.4.17 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by second Standby Declared Starter NUMERO UNO (J Moreira).
Before being allowed to race again, GENEROUS HEART and SUPER SPRINTER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Just prior to the start being effected, NUMERO UNO turned its head to the left and consequently was slow to begin.
From a wide barrier, IRON BOY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Making the turn near the 1000 Metres, SUNNY DRAGON got its head up and shifted out abruptly across the heels of EXPERTO CREDE, resulting in SUNNY DRAGON losing ground.
NUMERO UNO, which was following SUNNY DRAGON, was inconvenienced in consequence.
MOMENT OF POWER raced wide and without cover until passing the 600 Metres.
A BEAUTIFUL had difficulty obtaining clear running approaching and passing the 200 Metres and again passing the 100 Metres.
Passing the 200 Metres, ALL GREAT FRIENDS and MULTIMAX raced tight.
Then passing the 150 Metres, MULTIMAX was inconvenienced when crowded for room between DIAMOND MASTER and ALL GREAT FRIENDS, both of which shifted marginally.
Also passing the 200 Metres, S Clipperton (EXPERTO CREDE) dropped his whip.
Near the 100 Metres, NUMERO UNO, which was closing off the race fairly, was steadied when disappointed for running inside MOMENT OF POWER which was weakening.
Throughout the race, TIMELY ARRIVED travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground.
A veterinary inspection of TIMELY ARRIVED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.
DIAMOND MASTER, ARM RUNDA and ALL GREAT FRIENDS were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Early favourite Arm Runda pulled out rounding the final bend following a midfield run and closed off willingly to get the bob down for a third win from his past four starts. He really thrives over this course and will remain competitively rated in the middle of the grade. All Great Friends put his head in front 30m out following a box-seat run and just missed out. He's well rated on some past winning form over this trip and was suited by the good gate. Iron Boy whizzed home from last after switching off from a wide gate to make it a photo finish. He's not reliable but enjoyed the genuine pace on this occasion. Diamond Master swept to the lead 100m out following a prominent run but was swamped in the shadows of the post. He'll be winning shortly over the 1,000m or 1,200m at this course. Sunny Dragon finished very well two from the right to go close without menacing after making his run second from the rear following a sluggish break in an improved effort at his fifth local appearance. He's heading in the right direction. Numero Uno was short of room when trying to get going near the inside following a slow break. He's attractively rated and can pop up if he draws a gate over this Valley trip.
