14/05/2025  Happy Valley  Race 2

STELLAR EXPRESS (J186): Jumped awkwardly, shifted out and made contact with LOOKING BRIGHT. Approaching the 100 Metres was bumped by HEALTHY HEALTHY. ETERNAL FORTUNE (K010): Making the Home Turn was hampered when taken wider by SEASONS WIT which shifted out to improve. Near the 100 Metres made contact with SEASONS WIT due to both runners shifting ground. Sent for sampling post-race. HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203): Jumped only fairly and shortly afterwards was crowded between ETERNAL FORTUNE and PARENTS’ LOVE, both of which shifted ground. Approaching the 150 Metres endeavoured to obtain a narrow run between STELLAR EXPRESS and PARENTS’ LOVE. When PARENTS’ LOVE then shifted out slightly HEALTHY HEALTHY made contact with STELLAR EXPRESS and was held up for clear running over the final 150 Metres. As a result HEALTHY HEALTHY could not be ridden out to the finish of the event. SEASONS WIT (H223): Near the 100 Metres made contact with ETERNAL FORTUNE due to both runners shifting ground. Sent for sampling post-race. LOOKING BRIGHT (K315): Bumped shortly after the start. After the event Z Purton reported that his mount, which was having its first race start in Hong Kong, would derive benefit from tonight’s experience as it is still immature. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse’s trachea. FLYING TING LOK (K228): After the event H Bentley reported that the instructions were to go forward but despite riding his mount along in the early stages it did not show sufficient pace to do so. PARENTS' LOVE (H405): No report. STAR PERFORMER (K207): Withdrawn on 13.5.24 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore). Before being allowed to race again, STAR PERFORMER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
