HONG KONG HALL (G315): After the race, A Badel stated that his intention was to lead, but in the early stages was unable to hold a position on the rail when SELF IMPROVEMENT remained to his inside. He added in the Home Straight HONG KONG HALL did not respond to his riding and, in his opinion, this was due to the horse not being able to obtain a position on the rail. He said the horse performed in a similar manner on 13 March 2024 when unable to obtain a position on the rail and this was the reason as to why HONG KONG HALL performed disappointingly tonight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of HONG KONG HALL was considered to be disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, HONG KONG HALL will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
