19/06/2011  Shatin  Race 8

FINAL ANSWER began awkwardly and lost ground. D Beadman (SUNNY KING) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that after the 1300 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of FELLOWSHIP, resulting in that horse being taken across the rightful running of FINAL ANSWER, causing FINAL ANSWER to be checked and FELLOWSHIP to be hampered. D Beadman was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Saturday, 2 July 2011 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Happy Valley racemeeting on Wednesday, 22 June 2011. In addition, D Beadman was fined $80,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating two further racedays. Over the concluding stages, CHATER WAY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of LEADING CITY. Also over the concluding stages, SUNNY KING lay in. In the Straight, SICHUAN SUCCESS got its head on the side and lay in. Throughout the race, JOY AND FUN travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of MULTIGLORY after the race did not show any significant findings. SICHUAN SUCCESS and LEADING CITY were sent for sampling. <20/6/2011 Additional Veterinary Report> MULTIGLORY, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. MULTIGLORY was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A S Cruz this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be mildly lame in its left front leg and have a stiff action in both hind legs. Before being allowed to race again, MULTIGLORY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
