On entering the track, ANDOYAS became fractious, resulting in T H So, its rider, being dislodged. ANDOYAS then galloped riderless for a considerable distance. Acting on veterinary advice that ANDOYAS was not suitable to race, the horse was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Before being allowed to race again, ANDOYAS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. From wide barriers, SANTA FE SUN and ROMANTIC TOUCH were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. K Teetan (SICHUAN VIGOUR) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 850 Metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of ROYAL PARTNER, causing that horse to be checked and to lose the running to which it was rightfully entitled. K Teetan was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Monday, 9 March 2015 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Sha Tin racemeeting on Sunday, 1 March 2015. In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey Teetan’s good race riding record. At the 300 Metres, ENTHUSIASM was shifted to the outside of SICHUAN VIGOUR to obtain clear running. Passing the 200 Metres, WHAT YOU DREAM raced tight inside GURUS DREAM which got its head on the side and shifted in away from FULL TALENT. LUGER and ARPINATI were sent for sampling.
