Racing Incident Report

After being loaded into the barriers, SUNNY WIN became fractious and then as the start was effected was slow to begin.
JE PENSE, HARD BALL GET and GOLDEN SLEEP were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
For a considerable distance between the 1200 Metres and the 800 Metres, CLASSIC EMPEROR proved very difficult to settle in the lead.
After the 1200 Metres, GOLDEN SLEEP was left racing wide and without cover.
When travelling keenly in the lead, CLASSIC EMPEROR shifted out making the turn near the 1050 Metres and bumped TRUMP.
Near the 450 Metres, THE SYLPH was shifted out away from the heels of TRUMP which was commencing to give ground abruptly and in doing so bumped GOLDEN SLEEP.
SUNNY WIN was severely checked passing the 400 Metres after striking the heels of TRUMP which continued to give ground abruptly. JE PENSE, which was following SUNNY WIN, was hampered in consequence. WINSTON’S LAD, which was racing to the inside of TRUMP, was crowded for room in this incident.
After the race, K C Leung stated that AEROSPEED was unbalanced in its action at various stages of the race and as the horse did not feel comfortable, he eased it down in the Straight. A veterinary inspection of AEROSPEED immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, AEROSPEED will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
When questioned regarding his riding of TRUMP in the early and middle stages, H W Lai stated that he had been asked to ride the horse in about 3rd or 4th position with cover from a wide barrier. He said after riding his mount positively in the early stages, he looked to position TRUMP behind VICTORY MARVEL approaching the winning post on the first occasion, however, HAPPY SPIRIT had occupied that position which resulted in TRUMP being left racing three wide and without cover passing the winning post on the first occasion. He said rather than remain racing wide, he allowed his mount to stride forward of VICTORY MARVEL to race outside the leader CLASSIC EMPEROR. He said after crossing VICTORY MARVEL leaving the 1300 Metres, he shortened his hold in an endeavour to have TRUMP steady the tempo as CLASSIC EMPEROR to his inside was over-racing. He added when he did this, TRUMP attempted to shift out on a number of occasions and proved very difficult for him to steady. He said at all stages after the 1200 Metres he had a tight hold of the horse’s inside rein in an endeavour to steady the tempo and prevent TRUMP from shifting out. He said he was aware that the tempo of the race after the 1200 Metres was quick given the manner in which CLASSIC EMPEROR was racing in the lead and the manner in which TRUMP was proving difficult to settle, however, he was unable to do any more to steady that horse as he was making every endeavour to ease the tempo on TRUMP. The Stewards were satisfied that H W Lai had made a reasonable attempt to steady TRUMP approaching and passing the 1200 Metres and it was also acknowledged that TRUMP has a prior history of wanting to hang out, however, H W Lai was told that in the circumstances the Stewards would have expected him to make a more concerted effort to steady the horse. He was advised to ensure that he makes a satisfactory attempt at all times to ensure that horses ridden by him are rated so that they can finish off their race as best as they are able in the circumstances. A veterinary inspection of TRUMP immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. Before being allowed to race again, TRUMP will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of WINSTON’S LAD immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
HAPPY SPIRIT and HARD BALL GET were sent for sampling.
