Racing Incident Report

BALIUS was slow to begin. LUSH LASHES, which was fractious in its stall, began awkwardly. Making the first turn, BULLISH LUCK was steadied when awkwardly placed inside the heels of TRINCOT. G Gomez (OUT OF CONTROL) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that at the 1600 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of LUSH LASHES, causing that horse to lose its rightful running and be checked. G Gomez was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Sunday 21 December 2008 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). This suspension is with immediate effect. In addition, G Gomez was fined $80,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating two further racedays. Near the 1100 Metres, SIGHT WINNER became unbalanced when momentarily crowded for room between HAWKES BAY and TRINCOT. For some distance approaching and passing the 800 Metres, SIGHT WINNER raced tight inside TRINCOT and on several occasions became unbalanced. After the 800 Metres, LUSH LASHES was left racing wide and without cover. Approaching the 600 Metres, SIGHT WINNER was steadied away from the heels of TRINCOT. I Mendizabal (TRINCOT) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 600 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of SIGHT WINNER, causing that horse to lose its rightful running and be checked. I Mendizabal was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Friday 2 January 2009 on which day he may resume race riding (4 Hong Kong racedays). This suspension is with immediate effect. On straightening, ARTISTE ROYAL and VIVA PATACA bumped as both horses endeavoured to improve between SIGHT WINNER which was giving ground and HAWKES BAY which shifted out slightly. From shortly after straightening until after the 200 Metres, LINNGARI was held up and unable to improve. After the 400 Metres, LUSH LASHES, which was commencing to give ground, was steadied when crowded for room between TRINCOT and EAGLE MOUNTAIN. Passing the 300 Metres, HAWKES BAY was steadied when disappointed for running between ESTEJO and TRINCOT, then after the 200 Metres was again steadied when disappointed for running between SIGHT WINNER which when giving ground was carried in slightly by LINNGARI and VIVA PATACA which shifted out in an endeavour to obtain clear running. Near the 200 Metes, ESTEJO, which was giving ground, was steadied when crowded for room between HAWKES BAY which shifted in slightly and VIVA PATACA which shifted out. C Soumillon (BULLISH LUCK) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that at about 50 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of LINNGARI, causing that horse to be carried in across the rightful running of OUT OF CONTROL which as a result was checked. C Soumillon was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday 15 January 2009 on which day he may resume race riding (3 Hong Kong racedays). The commencement of the suspension was deferred until Monday 5 January 2009 on which day he had been eligible to resume race riding following a suspension from riding in races incurred in Race 4 today. In addition, C Soumillon was fined $40,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating one further raceday. For the majority of the Home Straight, ARTISTE ROYAL was unable to obtain clear running and because of this was not tested. Throughout the race, OUT OF CONTROL travelled wide and without cover. D Beadman (VIVA PATACA) explained approaching the first turn he took his mount back to a position trailing EAGLE MOUNTAIN. He said when that horse improved its position slightly along the Back Straight, he continued to follow it with BULLISH LUCK racing to his outside. He said it was his intention to follow EAGLE MOUNTAIN forward after the 800 Metres as he believed that horse would carry him forward into the race. He said near the 700 Metres EAGLE MOUNTAIN shifted out to a three wide position and commenced to improve. He said he started to follow EAGLE MOUNTAIN forward, however, BULLISH LUCK maintained its position to his outside which prevented him from shifting out. He said shortly after this SIGHT WINNER received interference in front of him and as a consequence VIVA PATACA was hampered. He said when this occurred BULLISH LUCK went forward of him on his outside and SIGHT WINNER did not improve. He said as a consequence he was held up and unable to improve around the Home Turn. He said on straightening he continued to race inside the heels of BULLISH LUCK and when running presented itself on the inside of SIGHT WINNER, he immediately endeavoured to improve into that position, however, was disappointed for running and he therefore at the 400 Metres shifted in further to the inside of HAWKES BAY and then ESTEJO. He said however clear running did not present itself for VIVA PATACA until the 150 Metres. He said in his opinion it was not possible for him to shift to the outside of the field rounding the Home Turn as LOUP BRETON had improved its position and meant that it was not possible for him to steady his mount to come back to the outside of BULLISH LUCK. LUSH LASHES was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of LUSH LASHES after the race did not show any significant findings. VIVA PATACA, EAGLE MOUNTAIN and BALIUS were sent for sampling. The Stewards intend to interview Jockey K Shea (EAGLE MOUNTAIN) regarding him having some fluid following the race and prior to weighing in.
