MY POWER was withdrawn on 17.12.19 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (sore left front tendon) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter PLAY TO WIN (K C Leung). Before being allowed to race again, MY POWER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
BEAUTY ANGEL began only fairly and then a short distance after the start lost ground when checked away from the heels of TAKINGUFURTHER which shifted out after being bumped by REGENCY POET.
HAPPY ALUMNI and PROMISE KEPT began awkwardly.
From a wide barrier, SPLIT OF A SECOND was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
When being steadied shortly after the start to obtain cover from the outside barrier, PLAY TO WIN got its head up on a number of occasions.
For some distance passing the 1100 Metres, HAPPY ALUMNI got its head up and raced ungenerously and then was awkwardly placed outside the heels of PROMISE KEPT passing the 1000 Metres. Then after the 800 Metres, HAPPY ALUMNI again got its head up when travelling keenly and awkwardly placed behind SUNNY DRAGON.
After the 1000 Metres, SUNNY DRAGON travelled keenly when being steadied to obtain cover.
Making the turn after the 600 Metres, PROMISE KEPT raced tight inside HAPPY ALUMNI which lay in.
Passing the 500 Metres, HAPPY ALUMNI got its head up and lost ground when awkwardly placed behind SUNNY DRAGON.
At the entrance to the Straight, TAKINGUFURTHER was awkwardly placed behind MASTER GALAXY and then after the 300 Metres was shifted to the outside of SHOUSON to obtain clear running.
Passing the 300 Metres, PLAY TO WIN was shifted out away from the heels of HAPPY ALUMNI. PLAY TO WIN was then shifted in away the heels of REGENCY POET after the 200 Metres and then was shifted in further to the inside of HAPPY ALUMNI approaching the 100 Metres to continue improving.
Approaching the 50 Metres, SUPER WINNER was awkwardly placed inside FOCUS.
Throughout the race, SHOUSON and MASTER GALAXY travelled wide and without cover.
When questioned regarding his riding of SPLIT OF A SECOND in the early part of the Straight, M F Poon stated that after shifting his mount to the outside of TAKINGUFURTHER and SHOUSON rounding the Home Turn, he balanced up SPLIT OF A SECOND in the early part of the Straight whilst continuing to ride it vigorously hands and heels and slapping the horse down the shoulder with the whip. He said he continued to ride in this manner in the early part of the Straight as SPLIT OF A SECOND was finishing off the race strongly and approaching the 100 Metres he commenced to use the whip in the backhand manner. He added SPLIT OF A SECOND then closed off the race over the concluding stages. M F Poon was advised that his explanation would be reported, however, he must ensure that he uses the appropriate amount of vigour on his mounts at the earliest available opportunity.
A veterinary inspection of REGENCY POET immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
HAPPY ALUMNI, FOCUS and SPLIT OF A SECOND were sent for sampling.
