Racing Incident Report

The Stewards today interviewed Mr T P Yung, the trainer of TAI PO FORTUNE, as to the circumstances regarding that horse being mistakenly treated with an anti-ulcer treatment on raceday morning. TAI PO FORTUNE was withdrawn this morning after Mr Yung advised that the horse had been treated. Also interviewed were Mr C K Tsang, assistant trainer, and Mr K W Chan, head lad. Mr Yung pleaded guilty to having breached Rule 50(2) in that as the person responsible for all matters pertaining to the running of his stable, he failed to prevent TAI PO FORTUNE from being mistakenly treated with an anti-ulcer treatment on raceday morning. In the circumstances, the Stewards believed it was appropriate for Mr Yung to be fined the sum of $20,000. Mr Chan was advised that a transcript of today’s inquiry together with a report into the circumstances of this matter would be forwarded to Stables Management for its consideration.
PLAIN BLUE BANNER began only fairly.
EVERYONE’S CHOICE and CARE FREE ELEGANCE began awkwardly.
ALLEY-OOP and BORNFREE were slow to begin.
TELECOM TOP STAR was shifted across behind runners shortly after the start.
Also from a wide barrier, OPTIMIZATION STAR was taken across behind runners in the early stages.
EVERYONE’S CHOICE proved difficult to settle in the early stages.
Passing the 1100 Metres, KING ON EARTH, which was travelling keenly, was awkwardly placed inside the heels of AMAZING GIFT.
Approaching the 800 Metres, ALLEY-OOP momentarily raced in restricted room inside FLORAL MAN.
Near the 550 Metres, AMAZING GIFT (K C Leung) became unbalanced after being bumped by PLAIN BLUE BANNER (D Whyte) which shifted to the outside of KING ON EARTH. D Whyte was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in similar circumstances. K C Leung was also spoken to regarding his right elbow extending away from his body during this incident. He was reminded of his obligation to ensure he does not extend his elbow away from his body when racing tight with other runners. Then rounding the Home Turn, PLAIN BLUE BANNER and AMAZING GIFT continued to race tight as PLAIN BLUE BANNER shifted out further into clear running.
For the majority of the race, CARE FREE ELEGANCE travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of HOLLYWOOD KISS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
PLAIN BLUE BANNER and EVERYONE’S CHOICE were sent for sampling.
