Shortly after the start, GIDEON was crowded for room between TARZAN I AM and MR RIGHT which was taken in by SUGAR which began awkwardly and shifted in after making contact with the outside of its stall. Near the 700 Metres, PEACE COMBINATION was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of BAYONET. Passing the 500 Metres, GIDEON momentarily raced tight outside SUGAR which shifted out. M L Yeung was fined $5,000 for breaching Stewards’ Instruction 22(3) in that he used his whip to excess on OCTAL LUCK when that horse was clearly out of contention. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on BAYONET at the request of Trainer C S Shum. The Veterinary Surgeon reported that this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, BAYONET will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of SUGAR and MR RIGHT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BAYONET and VICTORY DUKE were sent for sampling. < 1/6/2015 Additional Veterinary Report > SUGAR, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. SUGAR was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A Schutz this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, SUGAR will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
