17/06/2015  Happy Valley  Race 7

On arrival at the Start, FAT CHOY HONG KONG, which kicked a rail, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. KABAYAN shifted in at the start, resulting in RAINBOW CHIC being crowded for room outside FLAME HERO. HARBOUR MASTER raced in restricted room shortly after the start between KABAYAN and GURUS DREAM which got its head on the side and shifted in. From wide barriers, ROMANTIC TOUCH and PACKING LLAREGYB were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, TOP ACT momentarily raced tight inside REGENCY KING which shifted in away from FAT CHOY HONG KONG. Passing the 1600 Metres, KABAYAN was eased away from the heels of FAT CHOY HONG KONG which shifted in. KABAYAN was left racing wide and without cover after the 1300 Metres. Passing the 300 Metres, PACKING LLAREGYB was shifted to the outside of HARBOUR MASTER when disappointed for running to the inside of that horse. Near the 250 Metres, JAZZY FEELING shifted in after being bumped by RAINBOW CHIC (Z Purton) which shifted to the inside of REGENCY KING after being briefly held up for clear running behind that horse. HARBOUR MASTER, which was following, was inconvenienced in consequence. Z Purton was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in similar circumstances. Approaching the 200 Metres, ROMANTIC TOUCH was shifted to the inside of TOP ACT when disappointed for running between that horse and FAT CHOY HONG KONG. Passing the 200 Metres, FAY CHOY HONG KONG, which was giving ground, was steadied away from the heels of TOP ACT which shifted out marginally under pressure. After the 200 Metres, HARBOUR MASTER had some difficulty obtaining clear running. Passing the 100 Metres, PACKING LLAREGYB was shifted out away from the heels of REGENCY KING which was giving ground. Over the concluding stages, TOP ACT lay in under pressure. A veterinary inspection of FAT CHOY HONG KONG immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. HARBOUR MASTER, RAINBOW CHIC and FLAME HERO were sent for sampling. <18/6/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>The Veterinary Officer reported that REGENCY KING was lame in its right front leg on the morning after racing. Before being allowed to race again, REGENCY KING will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
