Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 1 GOLDEN EMPIRE (E490) Bumped near the 600 Metres and was taken wider. After the event, L Hewitson stated that with his mount down in grade tonight he was instructed to take up a forward position from its wide barrier. Trainer K W Lui confirmed the instructions issued. Sent for sampling post-race.
2 5 PRIME MORTAR (G328) Approaching the 1000 Metres was bumped by ACCOLADE START which shifted in, resulting in PRIME MORTAR becoming unbalanced. Raced keenly in the middle stages. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 11 DRACO (J115) On jumping was crowded by LEAN MASTER which shifted in. After the event, K C Leung stated that from an outside barrier, when caught wide in the early stages, he elected to continue forward to avoid racing wide.

4 2 LEAN MASTER (H134) No report.
5 12 SOLAR UP (J134) On jumping was crowded by PRIME MORTAR which shifted in. A Badel (ACCOLADE START) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that making the turn near the 1000 Metres he allowed his mount to shift in and make contact with PRIME MORTAR, resulting in PRIME MORTAR being taken in onto SOLAR UP, resulting in SOLAR UP losing its rightful running and being checked. A Badel was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 12 February 2025 at Sha Tin. In addition, Jockey Badel was fined $17,500. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 3 and also considered his very good race riding record.
6 10 BULB EMPEROR (J241) No report.
7 6 ACCOLADE START (H331) A Badel pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference making the turn near the 1000 Metres (see SOLAR UP).

8 4 JUDY'S GREAT (J016) In the middle stages raced keenly and for some distance near the 800 Metres got its head up when being steadied away from BULB EMPEROR. Again near the 600 Metres JUDY’S GREAT was steadied to avoid BULB EMPEROR and as a result shifted out and made contact with GOLDEN EMPIRE. For a short distance near the 100 Metres raced tight when improving between LEAN MASTER and BULB EMPEROR. After the event, H T Mo reported that his mount made an abnormal respiratory noise during the running of the race. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race.

Approaching the 250 Metres was inconvenienced when taken out slightly by ICONICAL which shifted out. After the event, M Chadwick reported that with the early stages of the event being run inside of standard time his mount did not travel well and as a result settled back in the field.
