HONG KONG HALL (G315): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

When questioned regarding his riding, A Atzeni stated that from a wide barrier he was instructed to obtain cover but expected to settle behind midfield. He said in the early stages FIGHTING MACHINE did not travel strongly but near the 500 Metres commenced to improve and for this reason he was reluctant to immediately shift FIGHTING MACHINE to the outside as it commenced to travel well. He said as a result he allowed FIGHTING MACHINE to improve to the inside and near the 350 Metres was checked when crowded between LUCKY PLANET and HAPPY GOLF. He added that after shifting to the inside of LUCKY PLANET, he then became held up on the heels of COPARTNER PRANCE near the 200 Metres when that runner gave ground. He further stated that after being shifted to the outside of COPARTNER PRANCE near the 150 Metres, he then continued to experience some difficulty obtaining clear running behind PHOENIX LIGHT and did not obtain clear running until near the 50 Metres when positioned to the outside of LUCKY PLANET. Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions were to ride the horse conservatively in the early stages from a wide barrier and also confirmed that he had not issued any specific instructions in relation to improving to the outside in the Home Straight. Mr Ng stated that whilst FIGHTING MACHINE had difficulty obtaining clear running in the Home Straight, he was satisfied with the riding of Jockey Atzeni.

STORM RIDER (J027): Bumped shortly after the start. When questioned regarding his riding on the Home Turn and the reason he elected to shift out, K C Leung stated that when he had identified HONG KONG HALL and ROUND THE GLOBE were under pressure, he elected to shift out to follow the favourite GORGEOUS WIN which was travelling well at that stage. He added whilst he was aware there was room available to improve to the inside of that runner, he felt that STORM RIDER would be advantaged by obtaining clear running to the outside. The Stewards found the tactics adopted were reasonable. Sent for sampling post-race. TEXAS MOON (G073): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. ROUND THE GLOBE (H146): When giving ground over the final 200 Metres lay in and proved difficult to ride out.

JUNKO (J816): Slow to begin. Sent for sampling post-race. SENOR TOBA (G103): For some distance near the 550 Metres raced tight between FIVE G PATCH and ZEFFIRO which shifted to the outside of GERALDINA to improve.

FIVE G PATCH (G286): When questioned regarding his riding and the reason his mount raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event, A Badel stated that his instructions were to hold an on-pace position, preferably with cover but he was instructed not to take his mount back in the early stages. He said after travelling a short distance he had expected WARM HEART to stride to the lead and cross LA CITY BLANCHE which would have allowed him to obtain a position one-off. He said when WARM HEART remained racing to the outside of LA CITY BLANCHE, he then contemplated taking a trailing position behind LEBENSSTIL but was unable to do so due to the slow early pace. He added whilst he contemplated making a forward move in the early stages, as WARM HEART was travelling better than his mount and FIVE G PATCH was not travelling strongly, he felt he would have had to make too much use of his mount to do so and in addition FIVE G PATCH is not a horse that would appreciate being ridden in this manner. LA CITY BLANCHE (G371): Near the 250 Metres JUNKO (M Guyon) shifted in, causing ZEFFIRO to be taken in and crowded the running of GERALDINA, resulting in GERALDINA (W Buick) then shifting in and away from that runner and crowding LA CITY BLANCHE which was checked. M Guyon was reprimanded and advised that he should stop riding and straighten his mounts sooner than he did on this occasion as they shift ground when not clear. W Buick was advised to exercise more care and to ensure that he makes sufficient effort to straighten his mounts when they shift ground. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GERALDINA (H821): Jumped only fairly. Briefly crowded near the 250 Metres. LEBENSSTIL (J820): When questioned, J Moreira stated that LEBENSSTIL was able to obtain a favourable position behind WARM HEART in a slowly run event. He said from the 600 Metres LEBENSSTIL came under pressure when positioned behind WARM HEART and for this reason he elected to shift to the outside of WARM HEART to endeavour to have LEBENSSTIL improve into the race. He added that from that point LEBENSSTIL failed to respond to his riding, raced in a disappointing manner and he could offer no excuse for the horse’s poor performance. Trainer H Tanaka could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance of the horse. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race. WARM HEART (J821): No report. WEST WIND BLOWS (J818): Withdrawn on 9.12.23 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (injury to left front leg).
